Abstract:
Background
Prevention of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) transmission to newborns is one of the
basic components of perinatal care in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, scientific
evidence is compulsory for evidence-based practices. However, there was a scarcity of evidence on health care providers’ awareness of breastfeeding practice recommendations during the COVID-19 pandemic in Ethiopia, particularly in the study setting.
