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

STAMFORD, CONNECTICUT - APRIL 25: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY) COVID-19 patient and Guatemalan asylum seeker Zully is adjusted in her bed by her husband Marvin and son Junior, 7, also covid-positive, after she arrived back to her home by ambulance on April 25, 2020 in Stamford, Connecticut. Weeks before she had gone Stamford Hospital, eight months pregnant and gravely ill with coronavirus. Doctors performed an emergency C-section to deliver her baby boy Neysel. Zully was put on a ventilator and remained in critical condition until a plasma antibody trial appeared to greatly improve her condition. A few days after medical staff took her off the ventilator, she was released from the hospital, although still positive for coronavirus and will quarantine at home. She has yet to hold her baby, who is healthy and temporarily staying with her older son's teacher Luciana Lira. The K-5 Bilingual /ESL instructor at Hart Magnet Elementary School continues remote teaching her elementary school students, while also caring for the Zully's infant at home. She plans to continue as the baby's temporary custodian until the entire Guatemalan family, including Zully, the child's father Marvin and their son Junior, 7, also recover and test negative for the virus. The ambulance was paid for by the immigrant advocacy organization Building One Community, (B1C) which is also assisting the family with food and supplies during their quarantine.
