Read full article: State: 2-month-old child dies from COVID-19 in MichiganA 2-month-old Michigan child has reportedly died from coronavirus (COVID-19). Officials from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) said Wednesday that the child is the youngest person they know of to die from the virus. MDHHS says the state is โfortunate enough to have had only one death of a child under age 1โ due to COVID-19. If the death is more than 30 days from onset, the certifying physician identifies COVID-19 as a contributing factor to death. MDHHS relies on the judgment of treating physicians in determining whether a death is associated with COVID-19."
