A premature baby girl in Scotland, who is thought to be the country’s youngest coronavirus patient, is recovering from the virus after contracting it at just three weeks old, according to Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Baby Peyton was born eight weeks premature on March 26 by emergency C-section after her mother Tracy Maguire suffered from pre-eclampsia, a dangerous high-blood-pressure complication that can occur in pregnancy. The condition can be fatal for mother and child if not treated by delivering the baby in order to save both.<\/p>\n

Peyton developed a sniffle and slight cough, and the medical team at University Hospital Wishaw decided to test her for a variety of viruses, including COVID-19.\u00a0The test, said her mother, was one of the “worst things” she’s had to watch. “It was the first time I’d seen my baby cry tears,” she told the BBC<\/a>. “I held her, I was crying and we were just trying to get each other through the situation.”<\/p>\n
