Authorities in the UK confirmed a 6-week-old infant died after testing positive for the CCP virus, becoming one of the youngest victims anywhere in the world to succumb to the disease.
It comes as Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to deliver an address on Sunday at 7 p.m. about a “roadmap” to “unlock the various parts of the UK economy.”
“And so it is vital that we do not now lose control and run slap into a second and even bigger mountain,” he said.
In March, an infant in Illinois died of the CCP virus, becoming the youngest known victim to die at the time in the state.
“I know how difficult this news can be, especially about this very young child,” Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker said at a news conference at the time, adding that “we should grieve for a sense of normalcy we left behind just a few short weeks ago.”
