We reported a 43-year-old gravida 3 para 2 pregnant woman without underlying disease at 18 weeks' gestationwho presented with fever and chest discomfort. She contacted her husband who visited the boxing stadium where the COVID-19 outbreak occurred and was diagnosed with COVID-19 infection 2 days before she developed symptoms. Her vital signs were normal without fever and physical examination was unremarkable. Nasopharyngeal and throat swabs were positive for SARS-CoV-2 by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays. Her investigations including complete blood count, renal function, serum electrolyte, liver function and urinalysis were within normal limits. Chest radiograph did not reveal any obvious active cardiopulmonary lesion. Rapid tests for influenza viruses and respiratory syncytial virus were negative. She did not receive any specific treatments due to mild symptoms. Daily fetal heart rate was measured between 120-170 beats per minute. Nasopharyngeal and throat swab were conducted every two days. Her past antenatal history and ultrasonography from another hospital were unremarkable and amniocentesis was done one week before this admission due to high risk of aneuploidy by maternal age.
