Youngest COVID-19 patient discharged

According to Jiang Mingli, chief nurse of the isolation wards, it's hard to find a baby's blood vessels, so the veteran nurses who did the intravenous injections had to wear goggles in case of failures.

"The doctors treated my baby with care and love, which has greatly supported my family through the darkest days," the infant's father said.

Together with the infant, a 7-year-old boy was discharged from the hospital as well on Friday.

The boy once lived with his grandparents, but since his grandmother had also been confirmed with the novel coronavirus, medics at the hospital offered him special care, both physically and mentally.

Doctors made study lists for him and provided reading, painting, math and music lessons.

"At first we were worried that he would be all alone. We are grateful that he was treated so well," the boy's mother said.

As a designated hospital for the novel coronavirus, Henan Children's Hospital has received five confirmed cases and 19 suspected cases altogether.

With the two young patients discharged, the hospital had no more cases either confirmed or suspected.
