Practical findings in the field (US) that we are seeing:
- Hospitals are being separated for Health moms vs. Covid-19 mothers. Breast pumps are being dedicated to each isolation room / mother to decrease the chance of cross contamination.
- Hospitals are discharging moms with vaginal deliveries at 24Hr after birth and C/S deliveries at 48Hr
