New mom urges Manitobans to take COVID-19 seriously after baby born 6 weeks premature

Baby Keith Forbes made an early arrival late last month, which his 25-year-old mother describes as the scariest thing that’s ever happened to her.

Alexa Forbes’s water broke in the middle of a meeting at work — six weeks ahead of schedule. 

When she went to hospital on March 15, she tested positive for COVID-19.

“I’m like, ‘Impossible! I have no symptoms,'” she said.

Those symptoms appeared a couple of days later, including a bad cough, muscle aches and a high fever.
