A Covid infected pregnant woman has given birth to triplets at the De Soysa Hospital for Women in Colombo.
The team that conducted the surgery this morning stated that they had decided on a cesarian due to the condition of the mother due to the coronavirus.
The Doctor in charge of the surgery told NewsWire that the three infants and mother are in good health following the birth.
Meanwhile, the Health Promotion Bureau has urged couples looking to have children to delay pregnancy by at least one year because of the Delta variant of the coronavirus.
The Bureau said it has been observed that the Delta variant poses a serious threat to pregnant women and their unborn children. (NewsWire)
