"The pregnant woman was admitted to LNJP hospital for treatment," Deputy Commissioner of Police (northwest) Vijayanta Arya said.
The constable got discharged from a hospital after testing negative for the disease on May 6. His wife gave birth to a girl on May 8 and she was detected negative for COVID-19 later. Initially, the baby was kept separately from the mother, police said.
