The baby was diagnosed as positive for the virus and was admitted to the ICU with his mother (who was not infected), and his condition was defined as stable. Later, it was found that he was suffering from an infectious disease, which is the one that probably caused the symptoms he suffered, rather than the corona virus, but was diagnosed as positive for the virus. The baby was treated with antibiotics and this led to improvement in his condition. Last night a second negative result was confirmed confirming that the baby was recovering.
This is one of the few cases in Israel where such a young baby is infected in Corona. The second case is of an 8-day-old baby who was admitted to Wolfson. The baby's mother: "We would like to thank all the staff at Sheba who took care of us above and beyond. We are happy to be released home. "
