Any fever/cold/cough/head ache/bodyache at present times is considered as COVID.
Till we get your covid test, avoid any contact with your baby except when you are breastfeeding. While feeding, wear mask at all times and wash your hand thoroughly before handling the baby.
Next Steps
Get yourself tested for COVID so we can prevent spread to your baby.
