If you are coughing or sneezing or have been tested positive for COVID-19 it may be recommended that you wear a mask when you are handling and feeding your baby. If you wear a facemask it is very important that you understand how to do so correctly and use and dispose of it safely and that you still follow good hand and respiratory hygiene advice.

There is a very comprehensive guide by WHO on how to use and dispose of masks correctly and when it is appropriate to wear a mask that we recommend for reference.
