In a statement issued online by the General Directorate of Health Services in South Ash Sharqiyah, the authority confirmed that the child was declared virus-free by medical teams in the Wilayat of Ja’alan Bani Bu Ali on Sunday [July 12].

This is the second announcement made by health authorities in Oman regarding an infant contracting COVID-19 and recovering fully.

On July 6, a baby who was diagnosed with the virus at just eight-days-old was also reported to have made a full recovery.

Both infants and their families reside in South Ash Sharqiyah Governorate.
