Abstract
Jimenez and colleagues (BJOG 2020 xxxx) present outcomes from 403 SARS-CoV-2 positive pregnant women and their newborns that received either delayed cord clamping > 30 seconds (DCC) or early cord clamping < 30 seconds (ECC). The recommendations from the Spanish Ministry of health and the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) discouraged the use of DCC in efforts to reduce the potential for vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2 (Poon LC, et al. Int J Gynecol Obstet 2020, 149, 273-286). Jimenez and colleagues demonstrated that there was no increased transmission with DCC. Overall, the transmission rates were low. Infants who had DCC also had higher rates of breastfeeding and early skin to skin.
