Abstract

Scientific data on the effects of COVID-19 on pregnancy continue to accumulate. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the degree of risk during pregnancy was uncertain, affecting the mental health of such women. Many studies have shown no effect of SARS-CoV-2 on pregnancy. However, the harmful effects of other coronavirus infections during pregnancy, including SARS and MERS, have led professionals to be cautious. Therefore, infection with SARS-CoV-2, even theoretically, in this regard can not be an exception. Large-scale research, which is still ongoing, has greatly broadened the understanding of this important issue.

The clinical picture of COVID-19 in pregnant women, pathology of pregnancy and fetus associated with this disease, perinatal infection of newborns with SARS-CoV-2, placental infection of the fetus with virus, maternal antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 and passive immunity with COVID-19 are considered.
