Ten newborn babies reportedly tested positive for the CCP virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus, after they came into contact with infected medical staff in a maternity unit in Romania.

Nine of the babies have been taken home from the hospital in the western Romanian city of Timisoara for self-isolation with their parents, Romania’s Health Minister Nelu Tataru said on April 6, as he pointed to the “failures in the activities of both maternity officials and the local public health directorate (DSP).”
