Abstract
The purpose of the project is to examine a population of pregnant women and newborns while the COVID-19 epidemic is at its peak. During the current international health crisis, there is a great need to know more about COVID-19 (the disease) and SARS-CoV-2 (the virus causing the disease) among women who are pregnant and in labour as well as newborns. Even though pregnant women are not necessarily more susceptible to viral infections, it is well-known that the changes to their immune system and physical condition may be linked to a more severe course of illness than in non-pregnant women. The project is a follow-up study, where all pregnant women giving birth at Aarhus University Hospital and Kolding Hospital (Lillebælt Hospital) over a period of a couple of months will be included.
