ABSTRACT
"Coronavirus of Wuhan" or "new Coronavirus" or SARS - CoV - 2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus - 2) causes an infection known as COVID - 19. Infection is transmitted mainly by inhalation or contact of infected droplets after coughing and sneezing by symptomatic or asymptomatic patients. The main characteristic clinical feature of COVID - 19 is fever accompanied by cough and/or shortness of breath. To confirm the diagnosis, molecular testing is required for sputum smears or secretions, preferably from the lower respiratory tract, and for computed tomography of the lungs. There is no specific treatment. Adherence to the basic principles of prenatal pregnancy management, during labour and postnatal pregnancy the should be of paramount importance and necessity, in order to ensure better health for both the mother and the fetus and newborn. This article examines COVID - 19 infections in pregnancy, mainly in the diagnosis and basic principles of women's management during pregnancy, childbirth and lactation, the proper application of which is estimated to ensure that the transmission of the virus is avoided both in the mother and in the newborn.
