Abstract

We are facing a epidemiological situation caused by a coronavirus for which we still don´t know much data.  Despite this lack of information, health systems are implementing protocols to try to protect the patients, and also its health workers. Furthermore, we also don´t know too much about the theoric impact of COVID-19 on  vulnerable populations, such pregnant women, in which it becomes more necessary if it possible to adopt  evidence-based protocols and not to fall into dehumanized treatment.
