Read about a new statement from the ACOG, which discusses new data from the CDC that states the level of risk for COVID-19 and pregnancy may be different than previous data indicated.

Now, due to new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has released aemphasizing the need for up-to-date information when it comes to patient care during pregnancy.
“New information from the CDC suggests that pregnant patients may be at increased risk for certain manifestations of severe illness due to COVID-19, such as intensive care unit admission and mechanical ventilation,”says. “Importantly, the available data also suggest that the overall risk of these clinical interventions remains low, and that pregnant patients do not appear to be at increased risk of death associated with COVID-19 compared with nonpregnant patients in the same age group.
“In keeping with our evidence-based approach, ACOG is reviewing all of our clinical materials and patient resources related to COVID-19 in light of newly available information and will make any necessary revisions to recommendations,” Zahn continues. “We understand that pregnant individuals are experiencing increased concern due to COVID-19, and we appreciate that these are unsettling times.”
