Two-month-old baby recovers

-

A two-month-old baby who was believed to have been Italy’s youngest Covid-19 patient has been released from hospital after overcoming the disease.

The baby was no longer running a temperatur­e or fever and was released with her mother, who has recovered from a bout of pneumonia, media reports said on Thursday.

The two were hospitalis­ed in the southern city of Bari on March 18.

Italy has officially attributed 17,669 deaths to Covid-19, more than any other country.

The government is now weighing how and when to ease social distancing measures that have helped see daily death tolls slowly come down from a high of 969 in March. —
