Abstract
The Novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), also known as Wuhancoronavirus, causes the 2019-nCoV acute respiratory disease orCOVID-19. While coronavirus infection is a common and usuallyself-limiting infection, in a specific population like pregnant women,complications of the disease appear to be more relevant, and preg-nant women are particularly susceptible to morbidity and mortality,especially in case of high pathogenicity virus. Most common compli-cations associated with COVID-19 in pregnancy include pretermbirth, cesarean delivery, and perinatal deaths. The risk of vertical transmission seems to be negligible| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
