The baby was admitted to the Infectious Diseases - Pediatrics Department of the Mavromati County Emergency Hospital to undergo special treatment.
The medical staff started an epidemiological investigation to establish the source of the infection, with the main suspicion being that the little one had contracted the disease from some relatives in Suceava, a hard-hit area.
