The doctors in China fear that the coronavirus disease is so contagious that it has a high chance of being transferred to babies from their mothers. ‘This reminds us to pay attention to a potential new transmission route of the coronavirus – vertical transmission from mothers to babies,’ Dr. Zeng said at the time.
