A two-year-old girl was allegedly raped while in a Covid-19 isolation ward at a hospital in South Africa.
The child was sexually abused while in isolation at the Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital in Pretoria, it has been claimed.
The allegations are being investigated by police and by the hospital.
The toddler's aunt, who remains anonymous to protect the identity of the child, said that the girl was admitted to hospital after developing symptoms of Covid-19.
The victim's mother was informed by the hospital that she needed to be placed on an isolation ward.
The mother went home but was contacted that evening and told the child was crying and appeared to be in pain, News24 reported.
'The mother and child were referred to the George Mukhari Hospital by the KT Motubatse clinic in Soshanguve on June 15,' the aunt said.
