JAKARTA - A five-day-old baby has died of Covid-19 in Jeneponto, South Sulawesi. The baby's mother initially had a reactive rapid test result, which led to both of them taking swab tests, which came back positive. "The swab test results came back on Oct 13. The samples were examined by the laboratory of Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital, Makassar," said the head of disease prevention and control at Jeneponto Health Agency, Suryaningrat, on Saturday (Oct 17). In June, a 40-day-old baby died in Tlanakan district, Pamekasan regency, East Java, after contracting Covid-19, believed to have been spread by neighbours who visited the newborn weeks ago. The baby, who tested positive for the virus when he was 28 days old, died in Smart Pamekasan General Regional Hospital after nearly two weeks of treatment. "Based on the contact tracing we carried out, the baby contracted Covid-19 from neighbours who visited him soon after he was born," Pamekasan regency Covid-19 task force chief Syaiful Hidayat said.
