The Governor, on Twitter, said on Wednesday that the baby was “brought unresponsive to a hospital late last week and could not be revived.
“Testing confirmed last night that the newborn was COVID-19 positive.
“This is absolutely heartbreaking.
“We believe this is one of the youngest lives lost anywhere due to complications relating to COVID-19.
