A British baby boy was only 3 weeks old but he was diagnosed with COVID-19. When he was sent to the hospital for treatment of COVID-19, the doctor found that he had rare congenital heart disease, called abnormal total pulmonary venous return (TAPVR), which is more threatening and non-operative.
Based on Daily Mail, 3 weeks old Thomas Lovell was taken to hospital over concerns that he had no weight gain. Later, he was found to have hydropneumatic and breathing difficulty.
After the swab test, he was diagnosed with COVID-19. He was treated for coronavirus with drug Remdesivir and put on a ventilator. However, his condition has not improved over five days.

Five days later, the doctor decided to move him to the Great Ormond Street Hospital, where the doctor discovered that he had heart disease and immediately performed cardiac surgery for him.
His mother was later diagnosed and had to isolate herself, but she said that during those days, she suffered most from seeing her son fighting for life during the treatment.
