Abstract:
The Novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), also known as Wuhan coronavirus, causes the 2019-nCoV acute respiratory disease or COVID-19. While coronavirus infection is a common and usually self-limiting infection, in a specific population like pregnant women, complications of the disease appear to be more relevant, and pregnant women are particularly susceptible to morbidity and mortality, especially in case of high pathogenicity virus. Most common complications associated with COVID-19 in pregnancy include preterm birth, cesarean delivery, and perinatal deaths. The risk of vertical transmission seems to be negligible.
