Corona virus and pregnancy
- This reminds us to pay attention to mother-to-child being a possible route of coronavirus transmission,' paediatric hospital chief says
- The death toll for the virus has continued to increase since the strain was first observed in December 2019 – with some 490 people killed in China, where 24,324 cases have been reported.
- Now a newborn child has been confirmed to be among the reported cases – having tested positive for the virus just 30 hours after their birth on 2 February at Wuhan Children Hospital.
- Doctors have since raised concerns the illness could have been passed from mother to child in the womb, potentially setting the virus – termed 2019-n-CoV by scientists – apart from other coronaviruses that have led to global health crises like Sars and MERS.
- "This reminds us to pay attention to mother-to-child being a possible route of coronavirus transmission," said the chief physician of Wuhan Children Hospital's neonatal medicine department, Zeng Lingkong.
- Both the baby’s nanny and mother were found to have contracted the illness in the days following its birth on 13 January, with the infant showing signs of infection on 29 January.
“But we can confirm that the baby was in close contact with patients infected..
Meanwhile in Singapore a six-month old was among four new cases confirmed in the country, taking the nation's total infection figure to 28.
