ABSTRACT

Since early in month of Dec-2019, the infection of Coronavirus Disease 19 has been prevalent in Wuhan City of China and ultimately virus spread to other countries. Literature survey was carried out by using different scientific sources such as PubMed, Scopus, Google scholar etc. There is a scarcity of literature of COVID-19 happening at some stage in pregnant women and possibilities of transmission vertically are may be due to COVID-19. So, there is an alarm situation as foetus may be at risk of congenital COVID-19. Up until August 28, 2020, we investigated at the risk of COVID-19 vertical transmission to the foetus of infected women using a database of published articles and government sites. Middle East Respiratory Syndrome MERS and Severe acute Respiratory syndrome SARS were related to poor obstetrical conclusion, so there was no recognized case of ‘intrauterine transmission’ of either Middle East Respiratory Syndrome-coronavirus (MERS-CoV) or severe acute Respiratory syndrome-coronavirus (SARS-CoV).
