Pregnant women with Covid-19 do not get more sick than the wider population, according to a Singapore study published, which also found that babies born to infected mothers have antibodies against the novel coronavirus.
The small study of 16 women also found no evidence of virus transmission between mother and baby, offering insights into an area of Covid-19 infection still not well understood globally.
The World Health Organization says pregnant women can be badly affected by some respiratory infections, and that it is not known whether mothers with Covid-19 can pass the virus to their babies during pregnancy or delivery.
