10% of pregnant women are affected by long COVID; take measures, according to the study.

Although the exact cause of extended COVID in some individuals remains unknown, a recent study investigated its frequency in pregnant women.

Approximately one in ten women who have COVID during pregnancy will develop protracted COVID, according to data presented earlier this month at the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine’s annual meeting in Maryland.

This was less than the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) projection that it would affect 23% of expectant mothers.
