On the basis of available data, although limited thus far, all mothers with symptoms associated with Covid-19 infection (fever, cough and joint pain) gave birth to healthy babies. The Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) does not cross the placenta and thus, if the mother is infected, she will not transmit the virus to the child, either during pregnancy or during birth. SARS-CoV-2 has never been detected in amniotic fluid.
To avoid contagion after birth, it is essential that you strictly follow the instructions provided by the staff at the birth center.
