Abstract

The new type of Corona virus (COVID-19) has been identified as a deadly pandemic, infected to a lot of people spread from Wuhan city in China at the end of 2019. Although this infection, which has a high spread from people to people and low mortality rate than the other coronavirus infections, is common between 30-79 years of age, the mortality rate is very high in the population over 80 years of age. Although we have limited data in terms of the consequences of the disease in pregnant women and its fetal-neonatal effects there are some issues to be considered in terms of protecting the health of the mother and baby. This review includes general information about the new type of Corona virus infection.
