“…Certain groups of the population, especially elderly men and those with underlying diseases, are more susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection [6,[11][12][13]. Children, infants, and pregnant women are also reported to have SARS-CoV-2 infection [14][15][16]. New evidence from Europe and the United States shows that young adults (between 20 and 54 years old) are also vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2 [17], which urges everyone to follow social distancing precautions.…”

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a novel coronavirus that has caused a worldwide pandemic of the human respiratory illness COVID-19, resulting in a severe threat to public health and safety. Analysis of the genetic tree suggests that SARS-CoV-2 belongs to the same Betacoronavirus group as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). Although the route for viral transmission remains a mystery, SARS-CoV-2 may have originated in an animal reservoir, likely that of bat. The clinical features of COVID-19, such as fever, cough, shortness of breath, and fatigue, are similar to those of many acute respiratory infections. There is currently no specific treatment for COVID-19, but antiviral therapy combined with supportive care is the main strategy. Here, we summarize recent progress in understanding the epidemiological, virological, and clinical characteristics of COVID-19 and discuss potential targets with existing drugs for the treatment of this emerging zoonotic disease.

“…However, the potential of the virus to cause severe complications for both mothers and newborns requires rigorous screening in pregnancy and long‐term follow‐up 3 . Although available studies provide vital knowledge, 2,4 research in this field is limited and the results vary. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate and report the clinical characteristics and laboratory test results of pregnant women with COVID‐19 to strengthen the knowledge base.…”

“…Kontakt zu Stuhl, in dem nachweislich Virus enthalten sein kann [26,67,68], und damit auch eine Wassergeburt [64] sollten vermieden werden [69]. Ein Auspulsieren oder Ausstreichen der Nabelschnur scheint das Transmissionsrisiko auf das Neugeborene nicht zu erhöhen und kann daher durchgeführt werden [62,64,70].…”
