I would like to know what are the risks for my 2-week-old baby if he is exposed to a person who may have COVID-19?

Young infants, especially those just two weeks old, do not tend to react much to the presence of the virus in their bodies. It is believed that their immune systems are not fully developed enough to mount a strong response. As a result, infants at this age often do not show any symptoms of COVID-19. While it is important to avoid contact with individuals at risk and to avoid large gatherings, the risk to the infant from exposure to someone who may have COVID-19 is relatively low.
