Unclear if baby born with antibodies is immune to coronavirus

Though it has been reported that babies might be born with Covid-19 antibodies if their mothers were infected with the virus during pregnancy, it remains unclear if this would mean the baby is immune to the coronavirus or how long the immunity would last.

Earlier this month, Mrs Celine Ng-Chan, 31, gave birth to her second child and was told by her son’s paediatrician that he has antibodies against the virus.
