Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council held a press conference on the afternoon of December 13. Director of the National Center for Obstetrics and Gynecology Diseases, Dean of the Third Hospital of Peking University, and Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering Qiao Jie introduced: According to the summary of domestic and international reports, the overall incidence, symptoms and course of the disease after pregnant women are infected with the new coronavirus are similar to those of the general population. The symptoms are mainly upper respiratory tract infection of , such as coughing, sore throat, sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, general soreness, and fever. There are very few severe cases, so there is no need to panic, and the course of the disease is basically 5 to 7 days.
Will pregnant women pass on to the fetus after they are infected with the new coronavirus? Because the mother has a very good protective barrier such as placenta , it is almost not transmitted to the fetus. However, if mothers and babies are together after giving birth, they should still pay attention to isolation. It is better for mothers to have a certain isolation from the newborn in space, or wear an N95 mask, so they can breastfeed.
