10 New Born Babies Test Positive For The Coronavirus

A Romanian Maternity Unit was being investigated on Tuesday after 10 newborns tested positive for the novel coronavirus, with the suspicion they contracted the virus from Healthcare Staff.

“The mothers tested negative, but the babies tested positive so we have to consider their contacts with medical staff,” Health Minister Nelu Tataru said in an interview with the Antena 3 TV station.

The babies have no symptoms and all but one of them, together with their mothers, have gone into self-isolation at home.
