What effect does coronavirus have on pregnant women?

Generally, pregnant women do not appear to be riskier than healthy adults to develop a more serious disease or any complications if affected by a coronavirus. Mostly, they will only experience mild to moderate flu-like symptoms.

If you are pregnant and your flu-like symptoms are getting worse, it could mean that your chest infection is getting more severe, and you may require hospitalization. If you develop more severe symptoms or your recovery is getting delayed, contact a first response hospital near you immediately.
