A few days later, her 9-day-old son was also diagnosed with the new crown virus, becoming Australia's youngest new crown Confirmed cases. The mother reproached herself that she knew that she did not dare to hold the child after she was diagnosed, and that she had been wearing a mask for almost 24 hours, but the child was still infected. Fortunately, the child is now recovering well after receiving treatment.
Taipei ETtoday quoted Australia’s Daily Mail Australia (Daily Mail Australia) reporting that a young mother, Madeline Woods, who lives in Sydney, gave birth to her son on August 17. Someone was diagnosed in her clinic, and then she went for a nucleic acid test. She was confirmed to be infected with the virus on the 19th of that month.
Woods said that she did everything she could to avoid passing it on to her children after she learned of the infection. “I have been very nervous, wearing a mask when feeding him and drinking, and I didn’t dare to hold him at all for the first week.”
Unexpectedly, my son suddenly developed symptoms 9 days after he was born. Woods said, "That night his breathing began to become rapid, and his chest began to shrink and rise. This made me feel very worried, so I immediately called an ambulance and took the child to the hospital. ". The baby subsequently received a nucleic acid test and the result was positive. He has also become the youngest diagnosed patient in Australia.
Woods knew that the child collapsed after being infected. Fortunately, the doctor and nurse told her that the newborn baby is very resistant to the virus and will definitely recover.

Sydney Children’s Hospital physician Joanna Ging pointed out that there are more than 3,000 children diagnosed with new crowns in New South Wales, Australia, and most of them are mild. There will be mild fever, cough, runny nose, vomiting or diarrhea, and many children have no symptoms."
Joanna said that currently only 3 confirmed children with congenital diseases in Sydney have developed severe illness and are currently being treated in the intensive care unit (ICU). Joanna pointed out, "Now children under 12 years old in the world cannot get the new crown vaccine, so the best way to protect them is to increase the vaccination rate of the entire community."
In addition, according to the website of the Mayo Clinic, a well-known American hospital, according to data from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the Association of Children’s Hospitals (CHA), children account for about 13% of the new crown cases in the United States. Children with obesity, diabetes, asthma, congenital heart disease or genetic diseases, as well as diseases that affect the nervous system or metabolism, are at higher risk of developing severe illness after being infected with the new coronavirus.
