COVID +ve MOMs I How long to isolate from babies? I Dr. Arjun S K

This is a very common question that many mothers ask the pediatric and and the gynecologist. If they are infected with Covid, how long they need to be isolated. Current guidelines clearly say that if the mother is locally asymptomatic, sometimes we electively do test s before the surgery. So if the mother is totally asymptomatic from the day of tests, she has to be isolated for 10 days. After 10 days she has to come pout provided if she is going out and carrying the baby, then better to maintain good handwash and good respiratory hygiene if necessary. If the mother has any symptoms of covid, then in that situation for threw day of the last symptom, if the mother had fever, cough , cod and it lasted for 2 to 3 days, without any medications she did not have any fever form the 4th day, than from that day she has to maintain minimum 10 days of isolation. So the mother should be totally afebrile without taking any fever medications, from that time she has to be isolated for the next 10 days. So before coming out and mingling with other family remembers and going outside.
