Immigrant Mother And Family Suffer With COVID-19 As Teacher Cares For Their Healthy Newborn

STAMFORD, CONNECTICUT - APRIL 24: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY) Recovering from COVID-19, Guatemalan immigrants Junior, 7, and his father Marvin pray at home on April 24, 2020 in Stamford, Connecticut. They have been sick and in quarantine in their house for several weeks. Junior's mother Zully, a Guatemalan asylum seeker also sick with COVID-19, gave birth to baby Neysel by emergency C-section at Stamford Hospital weeks before and was put on a ventilator. Junior's Bilingual /ESL teacher Luciana Lira, who works at Hart Magnet Elementary in Stamford, became temporary guardian for the newborn, who was born prematurely but healthy, while the family recovers. Lira continues teaching her elementary school students remotely, while also caring for the infant at home. She plans to continue doing so until the Guatemalan family all test negative for the virus and can care for the child themselves. (Photo by John Moore/Getty Images)
