New study investigates whether breastmilk can transmit COVID-19 or not.

It will address two critical questions:
Is COVID-19 transmitted via breastmilk?
Can breastmilk protect infants from COVID-19?
The FLRF donation is the first step, helping scientists mobilize immediately to generate critical data that could round out current guidance from global health organizations. Having up-to-the-minute, reliable information is crucial for health professionals to both protect the practice of breastfeeding and ensure the health of breastfeeding mothers and their children during this pandemic.
LRF MOMI CORE will also collaborate with peers in HIV research to learn from past experiences with a different virus and gain expedited, much-needed insights. The investigation could also lead to a new platform for launching fast, coordinated investigations to enable a quicker response in future health crises.
