Abstract:
The severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (COVID-19) pandemic impacts the health of women at reproductive
age in different ways, starting from pregnancy planning to post-delivery. This narrative review summarises the
challenges to obstetric practice posed by the severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (COVID-19) pandemic. In this
paper, we highlight the impacts of COVID-19 to obstetric practice globally and the efforts taken to address these
challenges. Further study is critical to investigate the effects of COVID-19 on pregnancy, the outcome of COVID-
19 positive pregnant women, and the safety of vaccination during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
