5-month-old dies in Jerusalem after contracting COVID-19

A 5-month-old boy has died in the coronavirus ward at Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center in Jerusalem, the hospital says.

The baby had suffered from unspecified “serious and complicated” medical issues since being born and his situation deteriorated after catching COVID-19, leaving him struggling to breathe, according to a spokesperson.

The death makes the infant among the youngest of Israel’s 9,581 victims who have died after catching the coronavirus.
