Marín MA, Cuadrado GI, Fernández BA, et al. - Via this multicentre descriptive study involving 16 Spanish hospitals, researchers sought to describe the clinical features of mothers infected with COVID‐19 and examine any potential vertical mother to newborn transmission. Further, they investigated the effectiveness of the discharge recommendations in preventing transmission during the first month of life. They reviewed the medical records of 42 pregnant women diagnosed with COVID‐19, when they were in their third trimester of pregnancy, and monitored them with their newborn infants until the infant was 1 month old. A vaginal delivery was reported in over half (52.4%) of these women. The study yielded no evidence of COVID‐19 transmission in any of the infants born to COVID‐19 mothers, and suggests the post‐discharge advice as effective. The measures to avoid transmission seemed to decrease exclusive breastfeeding at discharge.
