It spread rapidly
A full-time mum has warned other parents to be on their guard after she suddenly discovered a strange rash on her six-month-old baby. Catie Josey, 23, was putting her son Cody to bed when she noticed unusual, large red marks on his stomach. At first, the Long Eaton mum thought the marks were mosquito bites, but when they 'spread rapidly' the former Covid track and trace call handler grew concerned and took her baby to A&E.
"We thought it was mosquito bites to begin with but it then spread quite rapidly. I took him to A&E where they tested him. When it came back it was Covid. The doctor explained that most parents aren't aware that babies can get Covid rash. With Cody now recovered, Ms Josey aims to spread the word and warn more mothers about the signs. Using her experience, she says she wants other parents to know what to do if their young son or daughter gets infected.
"He was drinking fine was a bit fussy the day before, eating fine and plenty of wet and dirty nappies. Turns out he had Covid, still testing positive and now I am too after two years of avoiding it. His symptoms started Tuesday afternoon.
