COVID-19 is the name of a disease caused by SARS-CoV-2. The World Health Organization declared a global pandemic on March 11, 2020. Transmission of the virus most often occurs through close contact with infected people or through contaminated surfaces. The incubation time is on average four days, with a range of up to 14 days. The prognosis of most infected pregnant women and newborns is good and pregnant women appear to have a similar course of the disease compared to the general population. Pregnancy does not increase the risk of infection, but worsens the clinical course of COVID-19 compared with non-pregnan women of the same age. Most pregnant women with known or suspected COVID-19 infection have developed a mild disease that does not require hospital-level care in the absence of obstetric problems. The predominant symptoms of COVID-19 in pregnant women are fever, dry cough, dyspnea, chest pain, fatigue and myalgia. There are several classifications of disease severity such as the National Institutes of Health classification or the classification proposed by Wu et al. The RT-PCR test is the gold standard for detecting SARS-CoV-2 from respiratory samples. The most common COVID-19 drugs being investigated for use in pregnant women are hydroxychloroquine, liponavir / ritonavir, remdesivir and tociluzimab. Many organizations have proposed new prenatal care protocols instead of traditional ones to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Vaccination of pregnant women is recommended. The mode of delivery should continue to be individualized and based on routine obstetric indications. COVID-19 is not an indication to change the mode of delivery and there is no evidence to favor one mode of delivery over another. Evidence of vertical transmission is rare and is mainly based on small series of cases.
