  • The pandemic of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has affected more than 19.7 million persons worldwide with 7,28,013 deaths till 10th August 2020. It has put an unprecedented workload on health care systems with special reference to labor rooms and obstetrics as deliveries can\'t be stopped or postponed. Preparing their facilities using triage (COVID positive patients, COVID suspect patients and COVID negative patients) can help to better utilize the limited resources and helps in prevention of spread of disease and improve maternal and perinatal outcome. There is need for proper training of healthcare providers for judicious use of personal protective equipment(PPEs) for optimum outcome. Fortunately, the available literature suggests that there is no substantial increased risk of acquiring COVID-19 in pregnancy or its increased virulence in pregnancy and labor and there is no adverse effects on fetus and neonate with negligible fetal transmission rate. Nevertheless, utmost care is needed to manage such pregnancies, their prenatal care and labor. This review aimed to highlight the main recommendations applied in Indians maternities for better management of pregnancy during the COVID-19 pandemic.
