Implications of Covid 19 in preterm labor

Pregnant women are known to experience immunological and physiological changes that can make them more susceptible to viral respiratory infections, including COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2,). It is important to consider that during pregnancy a state of partial immunosuppression occurs that, associated with physiological and mechanical changes, makes women susceptible to different viral infections, therefore the COVID-19 pandemic can have serious implications in this population. The pregnant woman and her fetus represent a vulnerable population during any outbreak of an infectious disease, which is why it is important to have up-to-date and reliable information for clinical decision-making.
