Wired up to intensive care machines and ventilators that are keeping her alive, premature baby Mia is a beacon of hope amid Covid-19 heartbreak for a Filipino family.
Her mother, Florissa, 43, was seven months pregnant when she contracted the virus, prompting doctors at Zulekha Hospital in Sharjah to perform an emergency Caesarean section.
Arriving two months early, Mia was placed in the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit, where she has now been for almost six weeks.
