With open fetal surgery, the risk of mother-child transmission is likely higher than with needle and fetoscopic procedures as the fetus is exposed to more maternal blood and the fetal skin integrity is usually breached in these interventions. SARS-CoV2 negative patients planned to undergo fetal intervention should be informed that exposure to healthcare professionals, other patients or hospital staff increases their risk of contracting the virus. 5 The risk for an asymptomatic SARS-CoV2-positive pregnant mother to progress to overt COVID-19 disease is unknown, though most sources quote it as 'low' and not higher than health-and age-equivalent women. An analysis of 38 pregnant women with COVID-19, their newborn infants, and maternal-fetal transmission of SARS-CoV-2: maternal coronavirus infections and pregnancy outcomes	./cache/cord-258011-19yfwvki.txt	./txt/cord-258011-19yfwvki.txt
