Question 24: What are the key guidelines for pregnant women who are discharged from hospital after recovering from COVID-19?
Pregnant women discharged from hospital after recovering from COVlD-19 may become vulnerable to other diseases as their immune systems have been weakened during recovery. They are therefore advised to continue monitoring their health status for 14 days.
After returning home, pregnant women should avoid close contact with their families and live in a single room with good ventilation if possible. They are encouraged to wear masks, practice hand hygiene, avoid outdoor activities and have individually served meals. They should also count fetal movements, monitor the fetuses closely and seek immediate medical attention for symptoms of fever, cough, decreased fetal movement, vaginal bleeding or other abnormalities.
Follow-up checks are recommended in the second and fourth weeks after hospital discharge.
