Recommendations for Universal Screening/Testing of COVID-19 for Pregnant Patients

The authors highlight the benefits of universal screening/testing of COVID-19, particularly in pregnant women, for better representation of cases due to asymptomatic cases and false negatives. The benefits listed include using COVID-19 status to promote hospital isolation, inform neonatal care, and promote the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). Not only could this help protect mothers and babies, but also healthcare workers.
