28-year-old Palestinian and her baby son overcame the coronavirus after being diagnosed with the disease when he was just a day old.
An Abu Dhabi-based mother and her newborn baby have recovered from Covid-19, health authorities in the capital revealed on Tuesday.
Raneen Abu Zaher, a 28-year-old Palestinian homemaker, and her baby son, Jad, overcame the coronavirus after being diagnosed with the disease when Jad was just a day old.
The good news comes after the other three members of their family – two sons aged eight and six, and Abu Zaher’s husband – tested negative for the virus.
Jad was born in Corniche Hospital in the capital.
It is understood he has a congential heart disorder which also required him to be constantly monitored.
His mother was placed in isolation following the diagnosis, while Jad was treated in isolation at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the hospital.
Staff at Corniche Hospital lined a corridor and applauded Zaher and Jad on Wednesday, with some holding up a message saying ‘Congratulations’.
