Overall, breastfeeding appears to be a good practice to maintain the health and reduce the risks for infants during the current pandemic, yet there is a need for sufficient lactation rooms in the public space. The number of lactation rooms have increased in the public space, yet many issues remain to be solved, such as inadequate area, location near toilets, poor ventilation and lack of air temperature control The COVID-19 episode has also accentuated the risk induced by poor ventilation.
