The delivery was done with utmost care and precautions. The woman gave birth a healthy baby. Both mother and the child were then shifted to an isolation ward at CHC, informed Dr Nishant Nayak, who conducted the delivery.
The mother and her baby are now under observation, he added.
Earlier on Saturday, an 83-year-old man from Kandhamal district has defeated the second wave of COVID-19, lifting the spirit of other patients, who are currently battling with the dangerous disease.
The octogenarian from Baliguda block, Shyamghan Panda, has recovered from the virus after undergoing treatment at Badagaon COVID Care Centre.
