One positive placenta for SARS-CoV2 by ISH was delivered by C-section at 35 weeks 6 days due to placental previa 4 associated with placental infarcts, and the newborn baby was tested positive by swab PCR at 24 hours, 48 hours and 7 days. The other positive placenta was from a mother with 40 week gestation associated with no significant clinical and pathological features, and the baby was tested negative for SARS-CoV2 by swab PCR method within the first 24 hours. The current study showed that SARS-COV2 viral particles are uncommon in placentas from PCR-positive mothers at late gestation. Neonatal testing for SARS-CoV2 by swab PCR also showed rare positive cases from positive mothers.	./cache/cord-338152-e8e3lv79.txt	./txt/cord-338152-e8e3lv79.txt
