If a pregnant woman gets COVID-19, is she at increased risk for a miscarriage, for passing the virus on to her baby or becoming seriously ill? To protect her baby, does she really need to be separated from her infant after birth?

These are among the wrenching questions pregnant women face as the novel coronavirus spreads around the world, infecting more than 1 million people and killing thousands. Unfortunately, the data is too limited to answer these questions with any certainty. So scientists at UC San Francisco and UCLA have launched a comprehensive new study that looks at COVID-19’s impact on the health of pregnant women and their babies.
