COVID-19 Coming Home with a Newborn The measures implemented to fight the spread of the COVID-19 virus have not only modified how a pregnancy is monitored and how giving birth takes place. Coming home with a newborn is also not what is used to be. According to Sybille Jussome, communications advisor at the Institut national de santé publique du Québec (INSPQ), babies are more vulnerable to infections and a certain degree of prudence should therefore be exercised. According t...o Sainte-Justine UHC, the vulnerability of their immune system is markedly greater during the first 2 months of life. As a matter of fact, Health Canada recommends that the parents of a newborn should refuse any visits except for medical reasons to protect the baby’s health. https://naitreetgrandir.com///covid19-coming-home-newborn/
