Abstract:
The 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) infection has spread throughout China since the first case was identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, in December 2019. According to previous knowledge and experience, women during pregnancy and puerperium are a vulnerable population due to physiological changes in their immune and cardiopulmonary system, so making them more susceptible to viral infections. Based on the latest 2019-nCoV national management plan, we propose this detailed plan of care to provide better prevention and management of 2019-nCoV infection in women during pregnancy and the puerperium.
