COVID-19 Update
We understand the COVID-19 pandemic is worrying for pregnant women and their families. From the limited evidence to date, it seems that pregnant women do not appear to be more severely affected by COVID-19 than the general population. The risk of coronavirus (COVID-19) to your baby appears very small.
All pregnant women and their families should follow the latest government advice. This includes regular hand washing, good hygiene and social distancing. If you have concerns, contact your healthcare professional.
The latest information for pregnant women and their families on COVID-19 can be found at:
- The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG)
- The Australian Department of Health
COVID-19 Research
