A Coronavirus patient delivered through caesarean section has had her newborn baby testing negative for the deadly virus.
The delivery took place at the Apinto Government Hospital in the Tarkwa Nsuaem Municipality in the Western Region of Ghana.
Speaking Citi FM’s correspondent in the region, Dr Darko stated:
“About two weeks ago we did successfully operate and deliver a confirmed Covid-19 expectant mum of a very handsome baby boy and soon afterwards we took the sample of the baby and sent to the lab to be tested for SARSCov2.
The good news is the result came in this morning and the baby tested negative for SARSCov2. The better news is that even the mum’s sample that was taken a couple of days after the surgery and was sent for re-testing also came out as negative.
We are awaiting a second sample that was taken some days back to also test negative so that we can declare the mum as having fully recovered from Covid-19.”
