Abstract

Since the emergence of COVID-19 in Dec. 2019, our knowledge of disease and treatment modalities has evolved significantly. Pregnancy poses a unique challenge in the context of the management of infectious diseases because of the effect of the disease and treatment modalities on the mother and fetus. There has been a lack of active inclusion of pregnant women in various trials including vaccination trials in COVID-19; hence most information on treatment strategies became available from adult non-pregnant population. This article outlines the short review on current management strategies available to the adult pregnant population with COVID-19 in light of available evidence until 30th April 2021.
