Abstract
Viral pandemic that had started in Uhan (Hubey provence, Korea) in 2019, resulted in identification of a new β-coronavirus type, capable of contaminating people, 2019-nCoV, later named SARS-CoV-2. There are 5 known highly contagious strains of the virus. SARS-CoV-2 causes a clinical syndrome called COVID-19 with a set of symptoms ranging from a light infection of the high respiratory tract up to a severe pneumonia with a high respiratory distress-syndrome and even fatal outcome. People of all age groups are likely to be infected and even newborns are not an exclusion. The lesion of this group of patients is of a particular interest among physicians of various specialties, including neonatologists. The article analyzes the latest data from foreign and domestic literature on the risks of infection, especially the course of infection in the system "mother-fetus-newborn", the neonatal period in children, and complications of COVID-19 infection in newborns.
