Stockholm hospital: pregnant women due for delivery: 7% infected with Covid-19

> - Although there is a fairly high risk of the child becoming infected, it does not appear to cause any serious illness in the child. Most people will not notice that they have become infected. That is why we have judged that the attachment and breastfeeding belonging to the first period is so important and we see no reason to separate mother and child, says Karin Pettersson.

> Have any of the children tested positive?

> - Of the 23 women, only a few children have been tested positive. None of the children have shown any signs of a bad effect, they have had the virus but no symptoms.
