Srinagar, April 26 : Jammu and Kashmir recorded seventh death due to COVID-19 as samples of a woman, who died yesterday after giving birth to twins at Anantnag, have returned positive for the novel coronavirus.
On Saturday, the authorities had ordered a probe into the death of the woman and her twin babies after doctors allegedly delayed her treatment at a maternity hospital in southern Kashmir’s district over apprehensions that she might be a coronavirus patient.
An official told news agency KINS that her samples were taken and turned positive on Sunday.
As per the WHO guidelines, all pregnant women who visit hospital have to be treated as COVID19 probable.
