A 4-month-old baby recovered from Covid-19 after being on ventilator for as many as 18 days in Andhra Pradesh’s Visakhapatnam.

The baby was discharged on Friday evening after a health check-up, media reports said.

The toddler was tested positive for Covid-19 after her mother, a tribal woman from East Godavari, was infected with the virus in May.

Thereafter, the toddler was shifted to Visakhapatnam VIMS Hospital on May 25.

“She was put on ventilator for 18 days and was discharged from VIMS hospital on Friday after testing negative,” Vinay Chand, Visakhapatnam’s district collector said.

Meanwhile, on Saturday, Andhra Pradesh reported 222 new Covid-19 cases, including 2 deaths.
