A 13-year-old girl has died from the coronavirus in Panama, according to health officials.
The teen girl was being treated at a children’s hospital in the South American nation when she died on Sunday, said officials.
A family in Georgia, meanwhile, said that a 12-year-old girl is fighting for her life in a hospital after testing positive for the virus.
“The patient remains in isolation, and we have consistently used appropriate precautions. Additional details will not be released due to patient privacy laws,” hospital spokeswoman Jessica Pope told CNN.
Anthony issued a warning that children can suffer adverse effects from the CCP virus.
“Kids can get it and I know one who’s fighting for her life,” Anthony said. “I know first hand how dangerous it is,” he also warned to CNN. “Everyone keeps saying ‘it doesn’t impact younger people.’ But here’s a 12-year-old fighting for her life. People need to practice social distancing. People need to take care of their children. People need to take this seriously.”
