BENGALURU: Gynaecologists in Bengaluru have raised concerns over the increasing trend of pregnant women contracting Covid. While most of these women are asymptomatic, the very fact that they have been infected by the virus has led to stress among the women themselves and family members too.
While there a precise number of infected pregnant women is unavailable, the positivity rate among them is almost the same as that of the general population, said Dr Savitha C, head of the department of obstetrics and gynaecology, Vani Vilas hospital. She is also a member of the state Covid Technical Experts Committee.
