Wash hands: If you have had this virus then you and baby may have antibodies to it and have some protection. Although the virus may be passed on by someone infected sneezing or breathing on the infant, many times the virus is spread by physical contact.It is important that everyone wash hands frequently and you minimize contact with the infected partyIf you touch a surface they have touched you canpassonvirus
