In Busan, a pregnant woman in her 30s was confirmed as Coronavirus Infection-19 (Corona 19), and the Korean Society of Pediatric Infectious Diseases suggested that a child born from a sponsor should be considered a 'suspect patient' and should be tested immediately.

The Institute of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, however, presumed that the fetus's probability of infection in the womb was low.

According to the medical community, the Korean Association for Pediatric Infections showed that a child born from a diagnosis or suspicious patient was suspected until the results of the examination were confirmed in the `` Corona 19 Confirmation and Newborn Care from a Suspect Patient '' finalized by medical staff. Said they need to manage it.

As a result, children born from confirmed and suspected patients were immediately sequestered to negative pressure beds in the neonatal intensive care unit, whether or not they were incubator care (incubator care).

In addition, when moving from the delivery room to the township isolation room, it is recommended to reduce the external exposure as much as possible, and if the neonatal intensive care unit does not have a negative pressure bed, it can be isolated in a single room that can be treated separately.

In the process, the medical team believes that the coronal 19 test can be done with the placenta, cord blood, and amniotic fluid to determine whether the fetus is infected in the womb.

Newborns should have a corona test immediately after admission to the intensive care unit, and have a second test 48 hours after birth if the test at birth is negative.

If the test also produces a voice, it may be released from quarantine.

If the Corona19 test is positive immediately after birth, it will be released from quarantine if it is negative for three consecutive weeks, with no respiratory symptoms for at least two weeks after confirmation.

If your mother is confirmed, you should avoid breastfeeding your child.

It is better to breastfeed after your mom is confirmed negative.

If you and your baby are in quarantine, we recommend breastfeeding instead of feeding yourself.

However, there have been no cases of virus detected in mother's milk confirmed by Corona19.

"The current chance of developing an intrauterine infection in a fetus in a pregnant woman who has been confirmed with Corona 19 is extremely rare," he said. Do not be overly feared.

"There are reports of pregnant women confirmed in China, but there is no evidence that there is a direct link between infection and premature birth."

However, he added, "If you consider underweight and premature birth, which are the side effects of respiratory viral infections such as influenza, you cannot overlook the risk of newborns."

On the other hand, treatment for pregnant women confirmed with Corona 19 is not much different from existing ones, and it is decided by the medical staff according to the patient's condition such as symptomatic treatment to alleviate the symptoms.
