Abstract

Much is unknown about COVID-19 and its effects. The findings reported here aim to emphasize the clinical features of COVID-19 infection in pregnant women, the treatment process in the postpartum period, the presence of co-infection, and the value of hematological parameters in the management of the treatment.
