Sars-CoV-2 in pregnancy: Why is it better than expected?

Abstract

In December 2019, a novel coronavirus (Sars-CoV-2) was first reported in Wuhan, in the Hubei province of China and was declared pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020. While data regarding COVID-19 continues to come out improving our understanding of this disease, data specific to pregnancy remains limited and the clinical characteristics of SARS-CoV2 infection in pregnant women are still scarce.
