Brief summary

The investigators aimed to investigate the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of neonates who will be born to Covid-19 positive mothers in Turkey. It is a multicentric prospective cohort study designed and destined only in Turkey. The investigators are planning to admit more than 20 Neonatal Intensive Care Units into the survey; nevertheless, the total number may change according to the prevalence of Covid-19 in neonates. The investigators will also inquire into vertical transmission by collecting cord blood, placental, and postnatal serum samples to test for Covid-19 PCR and Covid-19 Ig M and IgG values from the neonates.

The patients will be recruited by a secure database of Trials Network with individualized accounts. Plexus Corporation will hold data monitoring and primary analysis.
