The COVID-19 pandemic is the biggest threat in living memory to the human race. The Global havoc unleashed by the COVID-19 pandemic is unprecedented. As we complete more than 45 days since it was declared a pandemic, we review the available literature from across the world about everything related to COVID-19 and women’s health, from conception to delivery. We present guidelines for antenatal care, testing, and precautions for health care workers [HCW]. Special emphasis is given on intrapartum care for COVID positive and suspected cases. We also present an algorithm for HCW exposed to possible cases.

Abstract


The COVID-19 pandemic is the biggest threat in living memory to the human race. The Global havoc unleashed by the COVID-19 pandemic is unprecedented. As we complete more than 45 days since it was declared a pandemic, we review the available literature from across the world about everything related to COVID-19 and women’s health, from conception to delivery. We present guidelines for antenatal care, testing, and precautions for health care workers [HCW]. Special emphasis is given on intrapartum care for COVID positive and suspected cases. We also present an algorithm for HCW exposed to possible cases.
