A six-week-old baby has tested positive for coronavirus in
Lagos State.
This was confirmed by Prof. Akin Abayomi, the State
Commissioner for Health..
Abayomi said it was not clear if the child got infected from
the womb or breast milk.
He said, “We have seen mother to child transmission, we
admitted a mother and her 6-weeks old child, it is not clear how the child got
infected. Either through the womb or through breast milk or by close proximity
of the child to the mother.
“We haven’t got enough information globally to distinguish
or get a clear information of how the child could be infected by the mother and
as we see more cases we would understand more.”
Meanwhile, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC, had
on Sunday confirmed that Lagos State recorded 70 new cases of coronavirus.
