Mum of twins born with coronavirus has spoken of their 'miracle' recovery
The parents of premature twins thought to be the first in the UK born with Covid-19 have spoken of their joy after they were declared fit and healthy and allowed home. Sarah Curtis, 32, and husband Aaron, 33, were horrified when tests came back and revealed Sarah was positive for Covid-19 just days before she gave birth. She was asymptomatic but felt “scared” and “annoyed” with herself as she feared she was putting the unborn twins at risk. Doctors were unsure if mothers could pass on the virus to their babies, or what its effects would be, which left them worried. Sarah went into labour ten weeks early on July 3 but her husband Aaron couldn’t stay with her due to Covid restrictions, and welcomed 3lbs Kenna and Lissa into the world. Doctors confirmed they were born with the killer virus, which was transferred to them via the placenta.
