Mangaluru, Apr 12: A 10-month-old baby who tested COVID-19 positive on March 27 completed treatment and discharged from hospital on Saturday.
He was the youngest positive case in Karnataka, from Sajipanadu village in Bantwal taluk.
The child had been with his mother to a relative's house at Monetepadau village, situated on the Karnataka-Kerala border in the first week of March.

Test reports on his mother and grandmother too have returned negative. They too had been under quarantine and were discharged with the baby.
Another positive development was that no COVID-19 case has been reported from the child's village.
The entire Sajipanadu village was completely sealed after the child tested positive and the district had provided all the necessary supplies to the villagers.

Though the government has maintained the supply chain of essential items, few shopkeepers have used the lockdown opportunity to charge higher prices for essential items.
Need tough punishment.
Instead of helping with lesser price, troubling the people. These are cruels.
