Bhubaneswar: A one-year-old boy was rushed to hospital in a serious condition after contracting Covid-19, but he has beaten the virus after spending eight days on a ventilator.

Aman Patnaik, from Nilagiri area of Balasore district, was admitted to SUM Hospital here on September 21, while running high temperature and having seizures as well.

“It was a challenge for the medical team to treat the baby and he was shifted to a ventilator the next day,” a doctor who treated him said.
