Unfortunately, no one is completely protected from infection. If you get sick—even if it’s a common cold—and are staying at home, here is a list of do’s and don’ts. It’s very important to follow the safety guidance, especially if you live together with someone (if there is a possibility that you have COVID-19 and you can’t follow these rules, think about hospitalization): ■ Move to a separate room if possible. ■ Keep your pregnant family members safe: it is possible that the infection progresses more seriously during pregnancy. Good news is, there are no registered cases of prenatal virus transferring. It is clear that breastfeeding should be provided with great caution, even only at suspicion of the new coronavirus infection. Some organizations suggest that mothers should stop breastfeeding altogether. ■ Wear a mask if there are people or animals next to you. Your household members should also wear them if they come close.
