A Chinese baby born to a Wuhan coronavirus patient was tested positive with the deadly virus 30 hours after being born.
Doctors in China are now dreading that the infection could be passed from mothers to their babies in the womb.
The news came after specialists alleged that the virus might also be spread by faeces.
The infected child, whose gender has not been disclosed, was born in Wuhan on Sunday. Its mother had been verified to have the coronavirus before going into labour.
Medics gave the baby a test 30 hours later and the result turned out to be positive.
The baby was then transferred to the Wuhan Children’s Hospital, which has been appointed by the government to treat all infected children.
