WUHAN, Feb. 14 (Xinhua) -- A 14-month-old baby infected with the novel coronavirus was discharged from the hospital on Thursday after recovery in central China's Hubei Province.

The baby boy was sent to the hospital on Jan. 26 after he had diarrhea and vomiting for six days. However, he still showed symptoms such as shortness of breath after treatment. So he was sent to an ICU isolation ward and later diagnosed with the novel coronavirus pneumonia.

The boy was the first confirmed baby patient infected with the novel coronavirus in critical or serious condition in the country.
