A STILLBORN baby whose mother had been struck down with coronavirus died in the womb after becoming infected with the disease, say reports from Israel.
The expectant mum - who was in her 36th week of pregnancy - was apparently admitted to the Meir Medical Center in Kfar Saba after falling chronically ill on Saturday.

Medics then learned her unborn baby had already died with later tests revealing the foetus had also been infected with the virus, reports the Times of Israel.
