Looking at a hospital in Wuhan, China, researchers found that 109 women – out of 118 total – had a"mild" form of coronavirus. That’s about 92% of the women, who were considered to have Covid-19 based on a positive test result or a CT scan of the chest. Severe cases of coronavirus developed most often after women had given birth, developing after delivery in six of the nine women. There were no deaths, according to the study.
“The present data,” researchers said, “do not suggest an increased risk of severe disease among pregnant women, as has been observed with influenza.”
