ABSTRACT
There is not yet sufficient data on COVID-19 infection in pregnancy that covers long-term follow-ups. A remarkable number of international organisations and national societies developed guidelines that target what to do in case of COVID-19 infection during pregnancy based on the recent publications that come out on COVID-19 infection during pregnancy and the reports about the obstetric and neonatal complications encountered during the past SARS and MERS epidemics that caused respratory tract infections. In this article the recent recommendations of international organisations and national societies are summarized. While examining these recommendations, a special attention should be made at the fact that these recommendations are updated quite frequently based on the rapid information flow.
