Conclusion
Operational readiness leverage on robust well-designed contingency protocols, so that they can be deployed without delay in real-life situations or crisis. Such protocols will serve to maintain high standards of obstetric care to our suspected or infected pregnant mothers while ensuring the safety of our front-line healthcare workers. Now that COVID-19 has been officially declared a pandemic, continuing revisions of the pathways and algorithms are necessary to ensure the appropriate counter-measures are developed and put in place to protect maternal and child wellbeing as well as the safety of the healthcare workers.
