“We are seeing instances of pregnant women testing positive. They could get infected by their husbands and I urge them to take extra care and precautions during the pandemic,” said senor gynaecologist at the hospital, Dr Laxmi K.

“Pregnant women who are Covid positive require extreme care before, during and even after the delivery. Quite often, due to rise of the virus load in the body, complications during delivery may arise,” she added.
