Conclusion
The results of our cohort show that, in the absence of maternal severe
complications, vaginal delivery among pregnant women with COVID-19
infection is a safe option, both for the mother and the baby, with
similar perinatal outcomes than expected in a non-infected cohort and
with no evidence of vertical transmission.
