Doctors perform C-section on sedated woman seriously ill from virus
A 27-year-old woman with coronavirus gave birth at a hospital in northern Israel — while sedated and on a ventilator.
Doctors at Ziv Medical Center performed a C-section on the woman, who was in her 32nd week of pregnancy, according to Channel 12.
The baby was born healthy and transferred to a PICU.
The mother’s condition continues to be serious.
The baby’s father, who also has the virus, is hospitalized in the same ward.
