Common question
Are newborn babies at risk of contracting COVID-19 from their mother if the mother has COVID-19?
Current evidence suggests that the risk of a newborn getting COVID-19 from their mother is low, especially when the mother takes steps (such as wearing a mask and her washing hands) to prevent spread before and during care of the newborn.
What are the symptoms of newborns infected with COVID-19?
Studies have reported mainly no symptoms or mild disease from COVID-19 in infected newborns, with low risk of neonatal death.
