It is very sad a child has died however we do not know at this stage whether the child died due to the virus.
"It is not yet clear whether the death was caused by Covid-19 or something else.
According to the Ministry of Health’s definition, a Covid death includes all cases that died who were classified as an active case of Covid-19 at the time of death. In some of these cases, the underlying cause of death may have been unrelated to Covid-19."
