Glenda Preta told Brazilian online news portal G1 that the infant probably contracted the virus from her three-year-old son when he first arrived home
Gustavo Barbosa developed flu-like symptoms and was hospitalized March 30 and placed on a respirator the following day
He was removed from the respirator April 18 and was given oxygen for a couple of days before he was able to breathe on his own without any complications
