Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 is detected in some newborns born to women with COVID-19, there still remains the possibility of mother-to-child transmission of COVID-19 after childbirth, and little is known about the clinical course of the infection or the infectivity of newborn infants with COVID-19. Also, there are few reports on how the spread of COVID-19 in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit can be prevented. Herein, we report the case of a newborn infant to a mother with COVID-19. Following the prearranged plan, we provided appropriate care separately for the mother and the baby, and adopted preventive measures under the assumption that the baby was infected. As a result, we were able to successfully prevent mother-to-child transmission as well as nosocomial infection.
