To describe the characteristics of neonates born to mothers with confirmed Covid-19 infection. A descriptive retrospective study using medical record data of patients treated in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of Dr. Soetomo Regional General Hospital from January 1 to July 24, 2021. A total of 174 mothers were confirmed with positive COVID-19 reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) swab test results. A total of 11 neonates were confirmed with positive COVID-19 RT-PCR swab test results, and 30% of them (52 neonates) were born preterm. The delivery method was dominated by the Caesarean section, as many as 117 pregnant women (67%). A total of 48 neonates (27%) were born with a birth weight of < 2,500 grams, 18 babies (10%) were born died with 2 positive COVID-19 RT-PCR swab test results. Currently, no vertical transmission of COVID-19 was proven. Meanwhile, the horizontal transmission was assumed to be the source of COVID-19 infection in neonates. Indeed, the application of health protocols was proven to prevent such infection effectively.
