These two cases are thought to be the first two verified instances of this happening. Although doctors had previously assumed this was possible, there had been no conclusive proof of Covid-19 in a mother's placenta or an infant's brain up to this point. In 2020, during the peak of the Delta wave of the pandemic, babies were born to young women who tested positive for the virus during their second trimester before vaccines were available. From their first day of life, the babies had seizures. The infants, unlike Zika, did not have microcephaly, a disorder characterized by a tiny head size. Instead, the researchers found that as their brains stopped developing normally over time, microcephaly gra
