Newborns can suffer severe brain damage if their mothers contract COVID-19 during pregnancy, with elevated risks of preterm delivery and stillbirth. Two cases, in which infants developed microcephaly and neurological issues ― and which were found to have occurred due to inflammation to the placentas ― were documented in Pediatrics. Researchers pointed out the placentas didn’t appear to work as they should have and had signs of inflammation; and while neither infant tested positive for the virus, researchers suspected the SARS-CoV-2 may have crossed the placenta. Pregnant women are at much higher risk of being severely impacted by COVID-19.

A new study published in The Lancet Microbe found that Covid-19 can spread via contaminated hands and surfaces, emphasizing the importance of frequent hand washing and disinfecting surfaces. The study also showed that individuals were more likely to catch Covid-19 if the virus was present on high-touch surfaces or the hands of infected individuals. While the focus on airborne transmission led to less talk about disinfecting surfaces, it is still important to keep high-touch surfaces clean to prevent the spread of Covid-19 and other infections.
