A new born in Singapore was detected with Covid 19 antibodies, baby mother contracted the novel coronavirus in March when she was pregnant. Scientists believe this as a new light to decipher how the infection transfers from the mother to the child. "My doctor suspects I have transferred my COVID-19 antibodies to him during my pregnancy," Celine Ng-Chan mother of the new born told the reporters. 

Ng-Chan had mild infection from the disease and was discharged from hospital after two-and-a-half weeks, the sources said. The World Health Organisation (WHO) says it is not yet known whether a pregnant woman with COVID-19 can pass the virus to her foetus or baby during pregnancy or delivery. Till date, no active virus has not been found in samples of fluid around the baby in the womb or in breast milk. The Chinese Doctors have made an elaborate report on the detection and decline over time of COVID-19 antibodies in babies born to women with the coronavirus disease, according to an article published in October in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases. 

Transmission of the coronavirus from mother to newborns is rare, doctors from New York-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center reported in October in JAMA Pediatrics. The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) in April 2020 has said that the virus transmission from a pregnant mother to the newborn is possible, but the proportion of pregnancies affected and the significance to the newborn have not been determined so far. The top medical research body in India has said, the transmission of COVID-19 can happen to a baby before the birth or during delivery from an infected pregnant mother. The ICMR reveals currently there is no scientific evidence to prove that breast milk has also tested positive for the deadly virus.
