CMAJ: New discovery! Pasteurization or can effectively promote SARS-CoV-2 inlconotization in breast milk!

July 11, 2020 // In a recent study published in the international journal CMAJ, scientists from the University of Toronto and other institutions found that pasteurized breast milk using commonly used techniques that inactivate SARS-CoV-2 can be safely and safely usedcurrent clinicians recommend that women with COVID-19 continue breastfeeding their babies, and in Canada, health care providers provide pasteurized breast milk as a standard treatment for lower-weight infants born in hospitals until the baby's mother has adequate breast milk suppliesphoto source: CC0 Public Domain researcher Sharon Unger says that if a woman with COVID-19 donates breast milk containing SARS-CoV-2, whether it is transmitted by breast or by breathing droplets, skin, breast pumps and bottle contamination, pasteurization can render SARS-CoV-2 effective lyson in breast milk, making it safe to usetank pasteurization, a technique that can be used to pasteurize milk in all milk banks in Canada (62.5 degrees for 30 minutes), which can effectively neutralize a variety of viruses transmitted through breast milk, such as HIV and hepatitis virus; The certain viral load of SARS-CoV-2, then the breast milk at room temperature for 30 minutes or heating to 62.5 degrees for 30 minutes, and the sample was tested to determine the level of the active virus, it was found that when heated, the use of pasteurization technology treatment of the virus in the breast milk inactivationMore than 650 "breast milk banks" around the world now use this method to ensure a safe supply of breast milk for susceptible babies, and finally researchers say researchers have not previously reported the effects of pasteurization on coronaviruses in breast milk, and the first study in this study has found that pasteurization is effective in inactivated breast milk sars-CoV-2 virusOriginal origins from the: Sharon Unger, Natasha Christie-Holmes, Furkan Guvenc, et alHolder pasteurization of the human milk is effective inactivating SARS-CoV-2, CMAJ 2020, July 9, doi: 10.1503/cmaj.201309.
