A COVID-19 positive mother has given birth to a baby boy at Al Zahra Hospital in Dubai.
Both the mother and baby are in stable condition, said the hospital in a statement on Thursday.
The 3.18 kilogram baby boy was born to 25-year-old Indian mother on May 5. The mother was admitted to Al Zahra Hospital Dubai on May 2 with a positive COVID-19 diagnosis and 37 weeks pregnant. The expected date of delivery was May 19 but after only 3 days in the hospital, the baby arrived safely.
“When we first received the Covid-19 positive diagnosis, we were afraid for the health of both my wife and the baby. But thankfully with the help of the doctors and nurses at Al Zahra Hospital Dubai, my son was born with no complications and my wife remains in stable condition. We couldn’t be more grateful,” said N.K, father of the baby.
