New study: Asymptomatic coronavirus infections among pregnant women may be less common than feared
A new study suggests that asymptomatic coronavirus infections among pregnant women may be less common than previously feared – at least outside of New York City.
An earlier report found that more than 13% of admitted pregnant patients at two New York City hospitals had asymptomatic infections, which made the case for universal testing of women before childbirth.
The new study, though, looked at more than 750 pregnant women who were admitted to hospitals in southern Connecticut without symptoms in April. 22 of those women tested positive for the virus.
