28-day-old newborn is hospitalized with coronavirus in Makareio - "We are waiting for imports" (VIDEO)

A newborn just 28 days old is being treated for coronavirus at Makareio Hospital. 

According to the Director of the Pediatric Clinic of Makareio Hospital, Abraham Elias, this is a little girl who was admitted yesterday with a fever and was diagnosed positive for the virus.

Due to his age, his hospitalization was deemed appropriate.

All children under two months are a special group and we prefer to be hospitalized, he noted.

He noted that the newborn is in good general condition while another child is being treated.

To date, he said, a total of forty children have been treated.

Mr. Elias stated that with the new relaxation of the measures, imports are expected.
