COVID-19: Je, kweli tunaweza kujifunza kutokana na milipuko iliyopita?

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding Resources (UNICEF and CDC)

Guidance for expectant and new parents in the context of COVID-19 is still developing (for example, it is not yet known whether COVID-19 can be transmitted through breast milk), but these are concise interim resources.

UNICEF page, “Coronavirus disease (COVID-19): What parents should know“: This page, in the form of “Frequently Asked Questions,” condenses basics for parents on COVID-19 transmission, prevention, and symptoms, and specifically addresses pregnancy and breastfeeding.
CDC Resources: Interim Guidance on Breastfeeding for a Mother Confirmed or Under Investigation For COVID-19 offers a general overview, while Frequently Asked Questions and Answers: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and Pregnancy addresses specific questions that may be of concern to expectant parents.

Tovuti hii imewezeshwa na usaidizi mkubwa wa watu wa Marekani kupitia Shirika la Maendeleo ya Kimataifa la Marekani (USAID). Yaliyomo ni wajibu wa READY na si lazima yaakisi maoni ya USAID au Serikali ya Marekani. Ikiongozwa na Save the Children, mpango wa READY unatekelezwa kwa ushirikiano na Kituo cha Johns Hopkins cha Afya ya Kibinadamu, Kituo cha Johns Hopkins cha Mipango ya Mawasiliano, UK-Med, na Chuo cha Uongozi wa Kibinadamu. READY inaongeza uwezo wa kimataifa kwa mashirika yasiyo ya kiserikali kukabiliana na milipuko mikubwa ya magonjwa ya kuambukiza.
