30 Hours old baby becomes youngest victim of coronavirus (photos)
A 30 hours old baby has become the youngest coronavirus case since the outbreak of the flu-like virus which has killed over 565 people.
The medical test which confirmed that the baby who was born on February 2 in Wuhan is infected with the virus, has led to speculation that the lethal illness could potentially be passed from a mother to a fetus as the baby's mother tested positive to the virus before giving birth.
The baby weighed 3.25kg at birth (7lbs 2oz) and is now in a stable condition and under observation.
Dr Peter Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston who also developed a vaccine for Sars (another coronavirus which spread in China in 2003), said there is more to know about the virus.
