Baby born prematurely to mother with coronavirus dies

A baby girl who was born prematurely to a woman with the coronavirus has died at the Poriah Medical Center in Tiberias.

The woman gave birth to twin girls last week in her 35th week of pregnancy, while sick with the virus.

The twins were moved to a preemie ward as the mother was discharged home. Both babies tested negative for the virus.

The condition of one of the babies deteriorated yesterday and efforts by the doctors to save her failed.
