This is just news. So far, the youngest, 16 months old baby has been confirmed. Among the confirmed people who came today (23 days) include a four-year-old child. If a child is too young to be isolated alone, parents will wear protective clothing all over their body and stay with them.

In Gimpo, Gyeonggi-do, a 16-month-old girl was confirmed as a corona19 confirmer.

This baby is the daughter of a couple confirmed at Gimpo, the youngest child to be confirmed.

The symptoms are unknown and are being transferred to Seoul National University Bundang Hospital.

The health authority plans to transfer the father being treated at Myongji Hospital to Bundang Seoul National University Hospital to take care of the baby.

Among infants in Daegu Dong-gu, where patient 58 was a teacher, a four-year-old infant who was self-contained was confirmed to have Corona19.

I am currently in quarantine treatment at Daegu Medical Center.

As a child, it is difficult to isolate it alone, so caregivers wear personal protective equipment.

Parents who have children in the first infant infection case will have anxiety.

Local governments nationwide, including Daegu and Gyeongbuk, as well as Daejeon and Seoul, have ordered all daycare centers to be closed for the time being.

Fortunately, corona 19 is known to have fewer infections in children and worsen pneumonia than adults.

An 11-year-old patient who is being treated at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital has also been reported to be in good health except for a slight sputum.
