A. The mother and infant can stay together in the same room if the mother does not have severe Covid-19 which requires hospitalisation. Make sure that the room is well-ventilated and there is someone else also in the family who is Covid negative to take care of the infant. A mother should wear a mask and maintain a six feet distance from the child. However, she can breastfeed the child. Prior to handling the infant or while breastfeeding, the mother should wash her hands and wear a mask. She should also sanitise the surroundings regularly. Besides, the infant should not be made to wear a mask. Once the mother is non-infectious she can keep the baby with herself at all times. g
