Out of 1229 mothers, 185 tested positive (15.05%); 12 neonates (6.48%) tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection. All neonates were exclusively breastfed. Symptoms, if any, were mild and self-limiting. Serum lactate dehydrogenase and liver enzymes were elevated. All neonates were healthy and thriving well on follow-up.CONCLUSION:
SARS-CoV-2 infected neonates are mostly asymptomatic and thrive well on exclusive breastfeeding.
