8-month-old in Jefferson County (Louisville, KY) has COVID-19, governor says

https://www.wlky.com/article/8-month-old-in-jefferson-county-has-covid-19-governor-says/31755583
Gov. Andy Beshear said during a news conference Wednesday the patient is 8 months old and is from Jefferson County.

He said there are very few cases of patients under age 19.

According to Beshear, the child is doing well. He said the virus doesn't affect kids in the same way the flu does.

As of Wednesday, there are 35 confirmed cases in Kentucky. One of those 35 have died.


I do have to wonder about long-term effects and obviously who else was around the baby. It didn’t get it on its own!

Is the symptom cycle longer, or they just haven't been testing them?
