Main Findings
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is highly contagious. Each infected person is likely to infect on average, a measure known as R0, between 2.2 and 5.7 individuals13, 14, if measures to reduce transmission such as physical distancing and hands hygiene are not implemented. In this study, we report the results of SARS-CoV-2 testing of a large sample of pregnant women screened during antenatal care, and a smaller number of women who pursued testing due to symptoms of possible coronavirus infection. We found no positive tests in either group.
