The newborn child, from the Hartford area, is the first confirmed coronavirus fatality in Connecticut in the US.

Confirming the news on Wednesday, April 1, Governor of Connecticut Ned Lamont took to Twitter to share his heartbreak at the news.

Governor Lamont said the child is believed to have become one of the youngest lives anywhere to be lost to the deadly disease.

"It is with heartbreaking sadness today that we can confirm the first paediatric fatality in Connecticut linked to COVID-19," Governor Lamont said.

"A six-week-old newborn from the Hartford area was brought unresponsive to a hospital late last week and could not be revived.

"Testing confirmed last night that the newborn was COVID-19 positive.

"This is absolutely heartbreaking. We believe this is one of the youngest lives lost anywhere due to complications relating to COVID-19."

He added: "This is a virus that attacks our most fragile without mercy.

"This also stresses the importance of staying home and limiting exposure to other people.

"Your life and the lives of others could literally depend on it. Our prayers are with the family at this difficult time. "
