Abstract
On March 11th, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) a pandemic. Since then, all federal and local authorities as well as regulatory agencies have asserted and developed robust policies in order to reduce the spread of the disease, worsening of clinical presentation and deaths related to the infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus responsible for COVID-19. Their statements also address concerns on the risks to pregnant women and maternal transmission to babies.
