There are more than 2,500 pregnant women with COVID-19 in Russia, reports TASS. Of these, 2,035 women confirmed the diagnosis in all tests.

The coronavirus has already been detected in 816 pregnant women in Moscow. In Russia, in case of a positive coronavirus test result, women will have to give birth in a mask, which makes breathing difficult.

Nevertheless, doctors emphasize that newborns can catch the infection after giving birth - it is not yet possible to determine when the virus was transmitted.
