ABSTRACT
Current literature and clinical guidelines do not include pregnant women as an a priori risk group for COVID-19. However, a gender vision of health begs the question Why are pregnant women not considered a risk group for COVID-19? The answer is clear historically, most community scientific studies have not considered female gender, or pregnancy as a state, to be a focus of special interest or effort. Unfortunately, this bias seems to be maintained in the COVID-19 epidemic most current guidelines for diagnosing SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy apply the same standard criteria as for the general population.
