We presented at 38+ pregnant patient with proven SARS-Cov-2 infection who presented in labor during the pandemic and delivered a baby with positive SARS-CoV-2. To study the risk of transplacental transmission of SARS-Cov-2 infection by obtaining nasal pharyngeal swab of mother and baby and urine & LP culture for baby as well as placental tissue. All specimens were negative except nasopharyngeal sample, so transplacental transmission couldn’t be proved.
