Concerns

Out of four, three pregnant women were discharged with mild symptoms but one pregnant woman admitted at 24 weeks gestation with 3 days of vomiting, breathlessness, and cough had fatal outcome.

Diagnoses

After the medical staff prepared for isolation and protection, the patients quickly underwent with series of diagnostic tests, such as laboratory, imaging, and SARS-COV-2 nucleic-acid examinations.

Outcomes

Among all four SARS CoV-2 infected pregnant women, three discharged after recovery and delivered healthy babies but one had severe COVID-19 disease.
