Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has been changing health care practices over the world, with many strict measures and protocols being introduced for preventing this disease. Neonates, especially premature ones, should be cared for appropriately in the first minutes after birth. The World Health Organization has recommended that to maintain the first embrace, Kangaroo Mother Care should be initiated to minimize neonatal morbidity and mortality. In Vietnam, there have been many pregnant women returning from overseas, and the perinatal care process in quaratine areas becomes difficult to implement while following strict infection control guidelines for COVID-19. This paper aims to describe the detailed protocol to care for preterm newborns in a quarantine area, especially to describe the care of a preterm babies born at 28 weeks 3 days, with birth weights of 1035 grams in Da Nang Hospital for Women and Children. The newborns have received skin-to-skin contact with the mother as well as CPAP support, breastfeeding and Kangaroo Mother Care. All of the care and treatment maintained the principles of practice in the QUARANTINE areas for COVID-19. The paper also provides information on COVID-19 in pregnancy and newborns.
