New British research has found evidence to suggest that pregnant women do not have a greater risk of experiencing severe Covid-19 than non-pregnant women.

Carried out by researchers from the University of Oxford, in collaboration with the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, the Universities of Leeds and Birmingham, Kings and Imperial Colleges London, the new study looked at 427 pregnant women who were admitted to hospitals in the United Kingdom with confirmed Covid-19.
