A teacher is caring for her student’s newborn brother because his mom is recovering from Covid-19

STAMFORD, CONNECTICUT - APRIL 20: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY) Stamford Elementary school teacher Luciana Lira, 32, kissess baby Neysel, then 2 1/2 weeks, before showing the newborn for the first time to his immigrant mother Zully, a Guatemalan asylum seeker, and her son Junior, 7, via Zoom on April 20, 2020 in Stamford, Connecticut. Mother Zully had just come off a ventilator at Stamford Hospital. Lira, a K-5 Bilingual /ESL teacher at Hart Magnet Elementary in Stamford, became temporary guardian for the newborn, when the boy's mother Zully went to the Stamford Hospital emergency room in labor and gravely ill with COVID-19. Hospital staff performed an emergency C-section and put Zully on a ventilator. The baby, 5 weeks premature but healthy, was unable to return to his home, as his father Marvin and half brother Junior, 7, were COVID-19 positive and quarantined there. The teacher had instructed the baby's brother Junior in school, before schools were closed due to coronavirus. Lira continues remote teaching her elementary school students, 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)
