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.
A few days later the child developed an acute respiratory illness and tested positive for the COVID-19 virus.
Treating the breastfeeding child was challenging for doctors as he had to be isolated. A team of doctors from Wenlock Hospital took up this challenge and successfully cured the baby.
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.
Mangaluru, Jun 25: In a shocking development, as many as five post-graduate (PG) doctors have tested positive for coronavirus in Mangaluru.

All the five PG doctors of Kasturba Medical College were deputed at Govt. Lady Goschen Hospital and District Wenlock Hospital (Covid Hospital).
Meanwhile, around 30 medicos have been quarantined.
According to sources, the five doctors were staying in a residential apartment in the city. The apartment is likely to be sealed.
Bantwal, Jun 16: Two unmarred siblings committed suicide by self-immolation at Sangabettu in Bantwal taluk of Dakshina Kannada last night.
Neelayya Shettogar (42) and his sister Kesari (39) poured petrol on themselves before torching themselves at around 11 p.m. on June 15 inside a room of their house, police sources said. The siblings were reportedly facing health problems.
Neelayya's brother and latter’s wife were sleeping in the other room of the same house when the incident took place. They came to know only when they heard the screams of the duo.
Even though the siblings were rushed to the government hospital at Bantwal with the help of locals, the doctors declared them dead.
Bantwal rural police sub-inspector, Prasanna and staff visited the spot as part of investigation.
Very sad. What happening to our youths. Are they going crazy or the mountain fell on them? Why do our people are becoming so coward? I think many are going under depression. Govt should set up rehabilitation/counselling centres in each Mandals/Taluks/Districts to treat such people.
