Is there a link between the coronavirus and the death of a newborn baby on Friday in a maternity hospital in Occitania?
The regional health agency confirmed this Sunday the death of the baby "noted at birth" and the fact that the Covid-19 test carried out "post mortem was found to be positive".
The young mother was also a carrier of the virus, specify the health authorities who "with regard to the confidentiality of the information of the individual medical file, and out of respect for the bereavement which affects these young parents and their relatives" will not bring "any other precision on this death ”.
The ARS teams send "their most sincere condolences to this bereaved family" and send a message of support to the health professionals who took care of her medically and psychologically.
