The pediatric intensive care unit at Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center reported on Saturday the death of a two-month-old infant.
The infant had been in serious condition, unconscious and on a ventilator, for three weeks.
According to the hospital, the infant had a pre-existing condition and had undergone a complicated surgery immediately after birth.
The staff at Hadassah Ein Kerem's PICU fought for the baby's life during the past few weeks, remaining at his bedside day and night, a hospital statement said. However, coronavirus, which had affected his lungs, together with his delicate and complicated situation, caused him to suffer seriously and acutely from the virus.
"We share the deep pain of the family, who we have worked extensively together with during this period," the statement said.
