It is also interesting to note that it is being advised not to separate babies from their mothers even if the latter tests positive. "The impact of this separation, even as a precaution, can be significant on both the baby and the mother. We will review this recommendation as we see more evidence in the weeks and months ahead. There is also limited evidence about the transmission of coronavirus through breast milk - and based on what we know now, we feel the benefits of breastfeeding outweigh any potential risks," Prof Russell Viner, president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health shared.
