The other recommendations in the folder are:
- Stay away from people who have suspicious symptoms, such as fever and skin and mucosal lesions.
- Use condoms in all types of sexual intercourse (oral, vaginal, anal), as transmission by intimate contact was the most frequent;
- Pay attention to see if your sexual partner has lesions in the genital area and, if any, has no contact;
- Seek medical attention if you have suspicious symptoms.
According to the technical note, considering the information available so far on the subject, “There is still no specific treatment protocol with antivirals in the pregnancy-puerperal cycle”. Despite this, the material has provided guidance for healthcare professionals on caring for pregnant women. If the pregnant woman is asymptomatic and the test is negative, monitoring is suspended. When the result is positive, home isolation is indicated for 21 days, without visits, and with self-monitoring (control of temperature and the appearance of skin lesions).
