A newborn baby has reportedly been diagnosed with Covid-19 in London, becoming the global pandemic’s youngest confirmed case.
The child’s mother was rushed to the North Middlesex Hospital with suspected pneumonia days earlier, the Metro newspaper reported.
It is thought that she only learned of her coronavirus diagnosis after giving birth.
Doctors were now trying to establish how the baby caught the disease - either through the womb or during birth.
The mother is being treated at a specialist facility while her child has been admitted in another hospital.
