COVID-19 is a new disease and we are still learning how it affects pregnancy, childbirth and newborns. Currently there is:
- no evidence pregnant women are at a higher risk of becoming seriously ill from COVID-9
- no evidence a developing child could be negatively affected by COVID-19
- no evidence mother-to-child transmission of COVID-19 occurs through childbirth
- no evidence the virus that causes COVID-19 is found in breast milk
