Netizens congratulated parents & doctors after a preterm infant who was tested COVID positive a week after his birth successfully defeated COVID-19 in Hyderabad
In among the most heartwarming stories to have come about in the midst of the crisis caused by the second wave of Coronavirus, an infant who was tested COVID positive a week after his birth has now been discharged from a private hospital in Hyderabad- KIMS Cuddles. The baby was born preterm on April 17, at 28 weeks of pregnancy due to severe COVID-19 in the mother needing mechanical ventilatory support. On the 8th day, the baby started showing COVID symptoms and tested positive. The doctors immediately put the baby on a ventilator and now the baby has successfully defeated COVID. After the recovery and another PCR test, the baby was shifted out of isolation, nursed in a warm room, and given appropriate care with mother's milk, micronutrient supplementation, and thermal support.
I wanted to confirm whether or not the mother recovered from COVID19 and thankfully she did.

The family including father Rahul, a medical coder by profession and mother Bala Mounika, who recovered from COVID-19, was constantly updated about the newborn's clinical condition over video calls.
