Résumé : |
In late 2019 a new novel coronavirus (now called SARS-Co-V2 or COVID-19) was detected in a group of market workers in the Chinese province of Wuhan. Symptoms include fever, a dry cough, shortness of breath and flu-like symptoms. The virus has now spread worldwide. While the majority of cases have reported mild symptoms there have also been many deaths. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared a pandemic on 11 March 2020 (WHO 2020).
The current pandemic is presenting a great challenge for midwives to provide safe, holistic care for women with unclear complex needs and is changing many plans for pregnancy and childbirth. This article will look at those challenges while examining the current evidence in pregnancies and suggesting how health care professionals can support women to have positive birthing experiences. |
