In Belarus, a 13-year-old teenager died after recovering from coronavirus. Tut.by informs about it.
Mitya Konev died on the morning of December 16 in the intensive care unit of the children’s infectious diseases hospital in Minsk. The boy was hospitalized the day before after he began to breathe heavily. Doctors hooked him up to a ventilator. Less than a day later, the child’s heart stopped.
The death certificate lists three diagnoses: “Cardiopulmonary insufficiency. Viral pneumonia. Coronavirus infection”.
The boy’s mother, Olga, said that their whole family had been ill with coronavirus in early November. She herself was in the hospital with her youngest son. “And Mitya was at home. He felt fine, only he lost his sense of smell. The test was never done to him,” the woman added.
After the quarantine, everyone felt fine, but after three weeks Mitya had a sore throat and her temperature rose to 40 degrees. He was diagnosed with sore throat and prescribed antibiotics. When the boy was hospitalized, they took an antibody test. The analysis showed that the teenager has already been ill with COVID-19.
According to the latest data, since the beginning of the pandemic in Belarus, more than 167 thousand people have been infected with the coronavirus. 1299 patients have died.
