Abstract
( BJOG . 2020;127:1116–1121) Most of the information on the effect of COVID-19 infections during pregnancy is based off of previously available information for other highly pathogenic coronaviruses such as the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). In order to supplement the lack of information regarding COVID-19 infections during pregnancy, the primary aim of this study was to report both mode of delivery and immediate neonatal outcome for SARS-CoV-2-infected women observed in Lombardy during the early phase of the pandemic.
