Abstract

In this case report, we present a pregnant woman diagnosed with COVID-19 at 33 weeks gestation and having a vaginal birth at term. The postpartum and neonatal courses were uncomplicated. Anti-SARS-CoV-2-IgG antibodies were detected in the neonate. A vaginal delivery in this case was safe with clinical diagnosis of COVID-19.
