Abstract
Ever since Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been declared a pandemic by World Health Organization (WHO) it has gradually become top cause of morbidity. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) possesses the tendency to cause severe symptoms in patients with a weakened immune system. In the setting where a mother develops mild COVID-19 infection yet remains stable, responds to medical treatment and there is no fetal compromise; the pregnancy may be continued to term with close surveillance. What is important in the current scenario is that the patients of COVID-19 along with any other comorbidities or medical conditions are at more risk of having fatal disease then the ones with COVID-19 alone. The pregnancy is one physiological condition in which a patient can face drastic pathological complications with COVID-19 if not given the due care.
Keywords: COVID-19, Pregnancy, Childbirth, Labour.
