Covid-19, transmissible through breastfeeding?

To do so, they analyzed 64 milk samples from 18 women infected with Covid-19. “Even if one of the samples turned out to be positive in the Covid-19 RNA test, we were able to demonstrate that the virus was not able to replicate and therefore could not cause infection in the milk”, specify the authors. “Our results therefore suggest that breast milk itself is probably not a source of infection for the newborn. “

Scientists hope that these results “and future work on the subject will reassure women about breastfeeding,” they conclude.
