Media in China have revealed the miracle of a girl who was born with full health from a mother who is infected with coronavirus.
The Chinese newspaper "China Daily" said that the case happened in a hospital in the city of Harbin in northeast China.
The baby was born last Thursday, weighing 3.5 kg, and is in good health.
But the surprise is that the two tests conducted for the girl, who was born after 38 weeks of pregnancy, have proven that her body is clear from the infection, which has already killed more than 360 people in China so far.
After days in quarantine, medical sources confirmed that the mother's condition is stable. The China Daily newspaper said that the medical team, which was involved in following up the mother and child's condition and performing the entire surgery, is currently carrying out medical observation.
China announced today that the death toll of the viral respiratory disease has risen to 361, out of more than 17,000 infected with the disease, as the virus has spread to 24 countries.
The Chinese government imposed strict restrictions in the central city of Wuhan, where the disease had spread, and tightened quarantine measures so that only one family member was allowed to leave to buy their food needs.
The Chinese military medical teams continued to arrive in Wuhan to relieve the health burden in the city, while several countries evacuated their nationals from the city.
Earlier, scientists at the Institute of Pharmacology in Shanghai affiliated to the Chinese Academy of Sciences and their colleagues at the Institute of Virology in Wuhan affirmed that a herbal drug may fight the Coronavirus.
The drug is known as Shuang Huang Lian Koufuye; it is derived from local herbs used in Chinese popular medicine.
