Notably, a neonate born to a pregnant woman with COVID-19 tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 RNA in the pharyngeal swab sample at 36 hours after birth was subsequently confirmed that the qRT-PCR testing of the placenta and cord blood was negative for SARS-CoV-2, suggesting that intrauterine vertical transmission might not have occurred. Furthermore, in a cohort study by Zeng et al., [13] 3 of 33 (9%) infants were diagnosed with neonatal early-onset infection with SARS-CoV-2 based on positive qRT-PCR results of the nasopharyngeal and anal swabs in two consecutive tests at day 2 and 4 of age. Possible vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from an infected mother to her newborn. ./cache/cord-349656-baoqgu8v.txt ./txt/cord-349656-baoqgu8v.txt
