Amid the Coronavirus global outbreak, it was found that some false claims about breast-feeding were being made. To debunk this, the WHO and UNICEF have asked countries to implement strong legislation to protect families against false claims about the safety of breast-milk substitutes or aggressive marketing practices.

According to WHO-UNICEF, no active Covid-19 virus has not been detected in the breastmilk of any mother with a confirmed or suspected case history.
