Dear Editor,
On 30 January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared Coronavirus (CoV) disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic as a public health emergency. All age groups are susceptible to COVID-19. Pregnant women are at high risk of acquiring the infection possibly due to the immunologic changes of gestation. However, there is no evidence so far for severe outcomes for mothers. Premature delivery was reported in pregnant patients with COVID1-9 but it was unclear whether it was related to the infection.
