A Singaporean study published yesterday revealed that pregnant women with "Covid-19" disease do not develop more severe symptoms than other groups, while their newborns have antibodies to the Corona virus.

The study, which was conducted on 16 women, concluded that there is no evidence of transmission of the virus from mother to fetus, which sheds light on an aspect of the "Covid-19" disease that is still not adequately known worldwide.

The World Health Organization says that pregnant women may be severely affected by some respiratory infections, and it is not clear whether a mother infected with "Covid-19" can transmit the virus to her child during pregnancy or childbirth.

"The results of the study are reassuring," the Obstetrics and Gynecology Research Network of Singapore said in a statement.

This reveals that the incidence and severity of (Covid-19) among pregnant women is the same as the general situation among other people.

The study stated that most of the participants had moderate symptoms of the disease, and the symptoms were more severe between the oldest and the fattest.

All of the participants in the study recovered from the disease.

Two of them lost their embryos, and the researchers said that one case of them may be related to the repercussions of infection with the virus.

Five of the participants had given birth to their babies by the time the study was published, and all newborns had antibodies to the virus without being infected with the virus.

But the researchers said it was not yet clear how much protection this might provide.

The researchers stated that more follow-up is needed to see if antibodies will dissipate as the newborns grow.

A study conducted on 16 women demonstrated that the virus was not transmitted from mother to fetus.
