<a href="https://www.news18.com/news/world/who-rcommends-breastfeeding-of-infants-says-no-live-coronavirus-found-in-mothers-milk-2667237.html">WHO Director general <strong><u>Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus</u></strong> said that it had painstakingly researched the dangers of ladies transmitting COVID-19 to their kids during breastfeeding.</a>

"We realize that kids are at generally safe of COVID-19, yet are at high danger of various different sicknesses and conditions that breastfeeding forestalls," Tedros told a news meeting.

<strong>"In view of the accessible proof, WHO's recommendation is that the advantages of breastfeeding exceed any likely dangers of transmission of COVID-19," he said. </strong>

Anshu Banerjee, a senior counselor in WHO's Department of Reproductive Health and Research, said that solitary "sections" of the Virus had been distinguished in bosom milk, not live Virus.

"So far we have not had the option to identify live infection in bosom milk," he said. "So the danger of transmission from mother to baby so far has not been set up."
