Frequently Asked Questions and Answers: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and Pregnancy
Interim Guidance on Breastfeeding for a Mother Confirmed or Under Investigation For COVID-19
FROM THE CDC: There is not currently information from published scientific reports about susceptibility of pregnant women to COVID-19. Pregnant women experience immunologic and physiologic changes which might make them more susceptible to viral respiratory infections, including COVID-19.
There is no evidence that children are more susceptible to COVID-19. In fact, most confirmed cases of COVID-19 reported from China have occurred in adults. Infections in children have been reported, including in very young children. There is an ongoing investigation to determine more about this outbreak. This is a rapidly evolving situation and information will be updated as it becomes available. Information about children and pregnant women and COVID-19 is available at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/specific-groups/pregnant-women.html.
