We conclude that mothers transmitted infection to their neonates at a very low rate. Disease in neonates is usually mild, although some babies have severe disease. SARS-CoV-2 infection in late pregnancy usually leads to mild maternal disease, but severe disease is reported in approximately one-tenth of the infected women.
