RtPCR tests using a nasopharyngeal swab were done for symptomatic pregnant women at the time of disease onset and for all pregnant women when they were admitted for delivery regardless if they had symptoms or not. RtPCR tests using a nasopharyngeal swab was done for the newborns whom delivered to positive mothers. 300 women and their newborns were included.

From symptomatic patients 90.09% (109/121) had mild symptoms and recovered without complications and 9.91% (12/121) developed severe respiratory symptoms requiring admission to intensive care unit, all were recovered.
