Abstract

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 or SARS CoV-2. The disease sparked a global health crisis that claimed more than 6 million lives worldwide. Pregnant women are particularly susceptible to the disease due to altered hemodynamic, respiratory and immunological responses. The aim of this chapter is to provide a holistic insight into the management of COVID-19 in pregnancy and postpartum from the perspective of India and the world.
