Past, present and future of perinatal COVID-19. The newer strains of SARS-CoV-2 are more contagious but less virulent. Practices in maternal and neonatal care have evolved from strict isolation, limiting visitors, avoidance of skin-to-skin care, deferred cord clamping and avoiding direct breast feeding to more family friendly practices. In the future, it is possible that COVID-19 will be treated as any other “cold” and annual booster vaccinations are recommended, similar to influenza vaccines.
