We present a case report of an antenatal mother who was diagnosed with COVID- 19. The psycho-social stressors experienced by her and the psychological intervention provided to her through telephone have been documented. The importance of post discharge telephone support or tele-psychiatry during the pandemic is also elucidated in this paper.
