Hi, I am a mother of 1 year old baby. Since 2 days I have developed fever and headache. I have not yet done covid test. I wanted to know what precautions should I take to not affect my baby. I am still breastfeeding him. Also there is only my husband, my baby and me in the house. Thanks.

A. you can continue breastfeeding but to use a face mask for yourself sanitize your hands properly when you are handling your baby and also maintain good hygiene and if possible get the covid-19 test done for yourself
