Summary: | SARS-CoV-2 transmission to neonates is thought to occur primarily through respiratory droplets during the postnatal period when neonates are exposed to mothers, other caregivers, visitors, or healthcare personnel with COVID-19 [4]. Since maternal and newborn care units vary in physical configuration, each facility should consider the appropriate space and staffing needs to prevent SARS-CoV-2 transmission. Guidance on perinatal care of newborns whose mothers have suspected or confirmed COVID-19 were provided by the WHO, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) [2,4,6].
