The World is going through a tough situation and that is a pandemic caused by the Novel Corona virus which originated in the Wuhan Province of China in December 2019. During this tough and critical situation, one of the major concerns is dealing with pregnant women across the globe. As we have been noticing in the past one year of observation in our country, the number of active pregnancies has been increasing during the period of lockdown in the country. Pregnant women getting affected by COVID-19 can be a risk to them and their babies. They may show symptoms or can be asymptomatic, which makes it difficult to diagnose in the very first place. In the whole scenario, patients undergoing this situation expect distinguished attention from the medical fraternity. So, to deal with this pandemic, it is important to meet up to the increasing demand of emergency medical services so that the situation remains under control and helps in providing the necessary medical treatment required to pregnant women of the society.
