This letter to the editor presents the hypothesis that the apoE4 genotype may identify children at increased risk of developing MIS-C from Covid-19 infection. Individuals of African descent may have twice the frequency of the ε4 allele compared with those of European or Asian descent, which may partially explain why they may be more likely to exhibit a stronger innate immune response to Covid-19 infection.

Title
Best Practices for COVID-19-Positive or Exposed Mothers-Breastfeeding and Pumping Milk.
Guidelines for women who test positive for COVID-19 and want to breastfeed or express breast milk: (1) Wash hands before and after touching infants or any pump or bottle parts. (2) Avoid using a pump shared by others. (3) Wear a mask or cloth face covering during breastfeeding or pumping. (4) Follow manufacturer instructions for proper pump cleaning after each use, cleaning all parts that come into contact with skin or breast milk. (5) If possible, pumped breast milk should be fed to the infant by a healthy caregiver who does not have COVID-19, is not at high risk for severe illness from COVID-19, and is living in the same home.
