Covid-19 risk could be 70% higher in pregnant women: Study - The Hindu BusinessLine

Covid-19 risk could be 70% higher in pregnant women: Study February 17, 2021 New study has revealed that pregnant women are at an elevated risk of contracting Covid-19. The study, published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, stated that the risk for contracting coronavirus is 70 per cent higher among pregnant women than in similarly aged adults in Washington, United States. Researcher Kristina Adams Waldorf from the University of Washington in the US said in a statement, “Our data indicates that pregnant people did not avoid the pandemic as we hoped that they would.” She added, “The higher infection rates in pregnant patients, coupled with an elevated risk for severe illness and maternal mortality due to Covid-19, suggests that pregnancy should be considered a high-risk health condition for Covid-19 vaccine allocation in Phase 1B all across the US.”
