We detected SARS-CoV-2 RNA in multiple breastmilk samples that were collected and tested after the first lactation from a woman with a laboratory-confirmed Covid-19 diagnosis. We showed the potentiality of mother-to-child transmission by extra-respiratory routes. Thus, we believe that SARS-CoV-2 testing of breastmilk samples should became a common practice to prevent neonatal infections

Abstract
We detected SARS-CoV-2 RNA in multiple breastmilk samples that were collected and tested after the first lactation from a woman with a laboratory-confirmed Covid-19 diagnosis. We showed the potentiality of mother-to-child transmission by extra-respiratory routes. Thus, we believe that SARS-CoV-2 testing of breastmilk samples should became a common practice to prevent neonatal infections
