Introduction: Newborns may contract the 2019 nCoV infection through close contact with individuals who are infected with the virus or carriers. we summarized the current knowledge on the relation between hospitalization sector and covid-19 infection in neonatal. Methods: a scope review conducted by searching in databases including PubMed and google scholar. we investigated the studies that were published between 2019 and 2024 and written in English. the ultimate selection consisted 21 articles. Results: To prevent the spread of COVID-19 in healthcare settings, particularly among newborns, various measures should be implemented. Shared accommodations for healthy mothers should ensure a minimum distance of one meter between beds and suspend visits and companions to avoid crowding. The neonatal sector should be divided into transition, quarantine, and general wards. Social distancing, proper hygiene practices, and frequent cleaning and disinfection of equipment are essential. Newborns with suspected infection should be investigated and tested, and those who are positive should be isolated and monitored for 14 days. Pressure rooms with filtered air should be used for confirmed cases, and a minimum distance of one meter should be maintained between incubators and cribs. Personal items and toys should not be shared among patients. Symptomatic parents or home contacts should not enter the NICU until the transmission period has ended. Healthcare professionals should avoid talking at the bedside and refrain from collective activities. Hospital waste should be collected in double-layered infectious waste bags, treated with chlorine, and disposed of accordingly. Terminal disinfection of patient rooms should be done using atomized hydrogen peroxide or chlorine-containing sprays. Conclusions: Based on the best our knowledge and present studies, early diagnosis and timely case management is essential to reduce virus transmissibility. This research has helped clarify healthcare and nursing practices aimed at preventing and controlling the spread of COVID-19 among newborns.
