All 120 of the newborns studied, born to mothers with coronavirus infection, tested negative for Covid-19. These results were obtained after two weeks of joint stay in the mother and child units. At the same time, the children were fully breastfed, but in compliance with safety measures.
However, one test for Covid-19 is not enough to pass a verdict on the complete safety of infected mothers for their children. More detailed and detailed experiments are needed. So, under the conditions of this experiment, newborns and mothers were together, and breastfeeding was a priority. Naturally, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been encouraged to reduce the risks of constant contact with mothers by expressing breast milk.
According to the authors of the work, despite the need for larger-scale experiments, the result of this study gives a chance for pregnant women who are sick with Covid-19 to have healthy children. The researchers recommend following hygienic safety measures, using personal protective equipment, and minimizing unnecessary contact with newborns.
