- Abstract
Coronaviruses are a group of viruses which, even if they are affecting mainly mammals and birds, could be transmitted to humans, generating common cold. The new virus strain is named SARS-CoV-2 and has 85% sequence similarity to SARS-CoV. Until now, it has caused more than 100 000 confirmed cases of infection and almost 5000 deaths, having a mortality rate of 4%. All information (symptoms, signs, management, complications) are taken from the other pandemic infections (SARS, MERS). Information about viral infection concerning pregnant women are limited and are common to other SARS infections. There are very few cases of pregnant patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 and studies are ongoing.
