In a shocking development, a 10-month-old child in Karnataka has tested positive for the virus becoming perhaps the youngest COVID-19 case in the country, reports Bangalore Mirror.
After the child developed fever and acute shortness of breath, he was taken to a private hospital for test. The doctors sent throat swab sample from the child to laboratory for testing on Wednesday (25 March). The test results confirmed that the baby is indeed suffering from coronavirus infection.
Notably, the toddler has no history of travelling to any of the COVID-19 affected countries. The report however states that the child may have travelled to Kerala along with his family members.
He is currently undergoing treatment in the hospital. Moreover, six people who were in contact with the baby are kept under home quarantine.
Apart from him, six others have also tested positive for the novel coronavirus in the state of Karnataka, taking the total count to 62.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
