Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont on Wednesday said that a 6-week-old baby died from complications related to COVID-19, making the child one of the youngest to succumb to the disease.

“This is a virus that attacks our most fragile without mercy,” Lamont wrote on Twitter. “This also stresses the importance of staying home and limiting exposure to other people. Your life and the lives of others could literally depend on it. Our prayers are with the family at this difficult time.”
