Her husband told the media that his wife's due date was October 26, but she had some pregnancy-related pain.
As four hospitals denied treatment, the woman's husband had to make her undergo an antigen test, which showed she was coronavirus negative.
Then a scan was conducted in which it was found that the babies’ hearts were not beating.
The woman was rushed to Kozhikode MCH around 3pm and taken to the labour room at 3:30pm. But doctors declared the twins dead at 5:45pm.
