A member asked:

My husband tested positive for covid-19 and i tested negative. is there a reason behind that as we stay together and had been spending time together. what are the next steps and should we have our 1 year old baby tested also?

COVID 19: Not everyone who is exposed to the COVID 19 virus will necessarily become infected. Also, you could have been infected but your viral titer may have been too low for a positive test outcome. Not that many children become infected or have severe disease, however, I would still discuss with your baby's pediatrician. In the meantime, would recommend that your husband isolate from you & baby.
