ABSTRACT
Results: Nurses, in the context of their continuing education regarding COVID-19, are to be able, and knowing the pathophysiology and clinical manifestations of the disease, to diagnose the active and potential problems of patients. [...]they can solve them by applying appropriate interventions. Essentially, there are opportunities to improve the quality of the health care services provided through continuing education. [...]the workload could be reduced while job satisfaction could be increased. [...]burnout, occupational errors as well as accidents may be reduced;as a result, better working environment and better outcomes for patients would be a daily routine [3]. Nurses, in the context of their continuing education regarding COVID-19, are to be able, knowing the pathophysiology and clinical manifestations of the disease, to diagnose the active and potential problems of patients.

ABSTRACT
The frequency of COVID-19 infection in neonates and the management and outcome of SARS-CoV in this age group is a field that is, as yet, poorly docu-mented. This review summarizes the current literature regarding the clinical characteristics, management and outcome of neonates with confirmed CO-VID-19. Current evidence shows that COVID-19 rarely affects neonates severely, with most cases being asymptomatic, while the most commonly reported clinical symptom is respiratory distress. The clinical characteristics of pregnant women with COVID-19 infection are similar to those of non-pregnant adult patients with COVID-19. Neonates born to mothers who are categorized as either diagnosed cases, or suspected cases of COVID-19, should be treated according to the latest guidelines. It is of great importance to conduct large-scale, well-designed cohort studies, in order to better understand the impact of COVID-19 on neonatal health.
