Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 RNA has been detected in the human breast milk of infected mothers, raising concerns regarding the safety of breastfeeding upon infection. We here show that holder pasteurization inactivates SARS-CoV-2 and provides an alternative and safe option for infected mothers to continue feeding breast milk to their infants.
