Risk of Maternal-Fetal Transmission of SARS-CoV-2

A study of nine pregnant women infected with COVID-19 and exhibiting symptoms showed that none of their babies were affected by the virus. The virus was not present in amniotic fluid, the babies’ throats, or in breast milk. Another study with 38 women showed that none of their babies were infected. However, a case report analyzing 33 pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV-2 found that three of their newborns were also infected and had clinical signs of COVID-19.
