If your baby receives a “positive” or “out-of-range” newborn screening result, your baby will need to have follow-up testing to confirm if they have a health condition or not. This follow-up testing is critical. Despite the current novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, you can still safely receive the follow-up testing your baby needs. This graphic can be downloaded and shared on your social media to educate and raise awareness about the importance of follow-up testing and the precautions you can take to keep you and your family safe during this time.
Ask your doctor if you have any questions about newborn screening.
Follow any recommendations from the CDC and your local health department about COVID-19.
