A newborn baby is said to have 'tested positive' for coronavirus in Britain - the country's youngest case.
The baby born in England is reportedly being treated at a hospital in London.
The child's mother had been rushed to a hospital in the capital days earlier with suspected pneumonia, reports the Sun.
The mum was tested at North Middlesex Hospital but her positive result is said to have only emerged after she gave birth.
The baby was tested minutes after arrival and the pair are now being treated at different hospitals, according to the newspaper.
Health professionals are reportedly now trying to work out whether the infant was infected during birth or whether it was possible the infection was transmitted in the mother's womb.
A source told the Sun: “Staff in contact with both patients have been advised to self-isolate. Health officials are urgently trying to find out the circumstances behind their infections.”
The number of positive coronavirus cases in Scotland has risen to 85, with one person with underlying health problems dying in Lothian.
