In Connecticut there are more than 35 hundred cases. 85 people are dead including a 6 month old baby who was born in Hartford, brought to the hospital unresponsive and did not survive.
It is with heartbreaking sadness today that we can confirm the first pediatric fatality in Connecticut linked to #COVID19. A 6-week-old newborn from the Hartford area was brought unresponsive to a hospital late last week and could not be revived," according to Governor Lamont.
