syndrome (SARS) and Middle-East respiratory syndrome (MERS) with mortality rates of 105 and 344 per 1000 individuals, respectively (1), coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was discovered late in 2019 in China and spread swiftly around the world (2). Pneumonia caused by COVID-19 is a highly contagious infection with several routes of transmission, and its ongoing outbreak is considered as a global health emergency by the World Health Organization (3,4). The COVID-19 is transmitted through airborne droplets and particles and physical contact and affects all age groups at risk. The risk factors of the disease include a history of lung disease, infectious disease, heart disease, or immunodeficiency, cancer, undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy, old age, obesity, and pregnancy (5). In the outbreaks of infectious diseases, pregnant women and their fetuses are at high risk. Pregnant women are more susceptible to infectious diseases than the general population, particularly to respiratory diseases and severe pneumonia, because they have low immune systems, their estrogen and progesterone levels are extraordinarily high in the upper respiratory tract, and the lung capacity is low. Also, physiological changes for adaptation to pregnancy (i.e., diaphragmatic elevation, increased oxygen demand, respiratory tract mucosal oedema) cause sensitivity to hypoxia. The potential risks of a cytokine storm due to infection in pregnant women may be associated with severe complications and even death (6-8). Although COVID-19 is known as an acute respiratory syndrome, it is recently confirmed that in addition to respiratory symptoms, about 36% of patients with COVID-19 also manifest neurological symptoms such as headache, confusion, and paresthesia, which their prevalence is higher in severe cases compared to mild or moderate ones (9). During epidemics, such as COVID-19, fear of disease and death, along with the turmoil of daily living activities, put people at risk of COVID-19-related The Necessity of Paying More Attention to the Neurological and Psychological Problems Caused by COVID-19 Pandemic During Pregnancy
