A three-week-old baby was diagnosed with coronavirus as an increasing number of tots are falling ill. The baby spent several days at NYU Winthrop Hospital on Long Island, America, where healthcare workers are braced for an influx of patients after the virus spread in the area.
The tot is allegedly the youngest baby in the US to contract the virus. The baby, who hasn’t been named, has since been released from hospital and is now recovering at home, according to Fox News.
Babies and children are less likely to contract the virus or to develop severe symptoms. They may be carriers of the virus without showing any symptoms like a temperature or a cough.
