Pregnant women are at increased risk of severe complications when infected with SARS-CoV-2. Infection can lead to adverse outcomes such as preterm birth, the need for intensive care hospitalization, and in the most severe cases, maternal or neonatal death. This vulnerability is due to immunological and physiological changes during pregnancy, which make pregnant women more susceptible to severe respiratory infections and their consequences.
