What does this mean? "...fue puesto a resguardo en perfecto estado."

Question

I am sure many of this community have been following the rescue of the Chinese infant from the sewage pipe. I tried to read the news article from CNN en Español but am stuck with this phrase "...fue puesto a resguardo en perfecto estado." Can someone help me translate it? The entire sentence is

El pequeño, que aún tenía el cordón umbilical, fue puesto a resguardo en perfecto estado.

The baby who still had the umbilical cord was ?????

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Right, the baby who was still attached to the umbilical cord was placed under shelter/custody in perfect conditions.

Answer 2

Chileno, Thanks for your answer.

Out of curiosity, could "...en perfecto estado" be an expression for " stable condition"?

the baby who was still attached to the umbilical cord was placed under shelter/custody in STABLE condition.

The "..perfect conditions" phrase seems a little awkward in the translation.

Yes, you are right... I looked at and a car came to mind, but I didn't do anything with it... :) - chileno, Jun 1, 2013

I should've written "unscathed" ;) - chileno, Jun 1, 2013
