Although newborns may be less impacted by COVID-19 directly, there is concern that the pandemic and the necessary public health measures employed in response may negatively impact the psychosocial health of high-risk infants and their families in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). As the neonatal community has expeditiously employed novel strategies to meet the medical needs of infants affected by COVID-19, it is important to also consider the psychological short-and long-term effects of the pandemic on NICU families. As stress contagion in the NICU can negatively impact parent-infant relationships, strategies are needed to mitigate it in order to optimize child development and family resilience during this unparalleled period. ./cache/cord-276741-ptrehipn.txt ./txt/cord-276741-ptrehipn.txt
