COVID-19 may spread from moms to infants and by seemingly healthy kids

In a small study from Wuhan China, 3 babies were confirmed with COVID-19.  "Because strict infection control and prevention procedures were implemented during the delivery, it is likely that the sources of SARS-CoV-2 in the neonates' upper respiratory tracts or anuses were maternal in origin," the authors wrote, referring to the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. "Although … all samples, including amniotic fluid, cord blood, and breast milk, were negative for SARS-CoV-2, the vertical maternal-fetal transmission cannot be ruled out in the current cohort."

This will need to be verified in other studies but you can read about this small study HERE
