Abstract

Pregnant women are more susceptible to complications from respiratory disease due to physiological changes in pregnancy. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) like its ancestors, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle-East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), may be associated with more severe disease course in pregnancy and possible adverse outcome to mother and the newborn baby. Here, we present a case of a pregnant lady with severe COVID-19 with oligohydraminos with less fetal movement managed in a resource poor primary care setup.
