Even as states begin to relax restrictions, medical professionals say pregnant women should stay vigilant about social distancing and hand washing.
"compelling evidence" that COVID-19 is being transmitted from moms to babies.
At Northwestern University Medicine's women's hospital, where study co-author and Dr. Emily Miller practices, the pregnant patients who tested positive for coronavirus are on a separate floor.

Goldstein said it's a"tough ask" to tell pregnant women to"adhere to pre-opening up restrictions" and acknowledges the placenta study is a small one to base his recommendation on. But he does. Lauren Mosteller, who gave birth to her daughter Zoe April 9, said"I hardly left my house for two months," and was nearly obsessed with COVID-19.
"Holding our baby back from loved ones is never how I pictured these first few months, but we have to do what we can to protect her," she said."Time is something you can’t get back and we are making sure our time in quarantine is well spent."The fears prompted by the virus have heightened mental health concerns. Brandt said his practice is even more carefully screening patients for anxiety and depression due to the additional stress brought on by the pandemic.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends health care providers"reassure patients that even during this time" there's effective treatment and support if they become infected.
