According to the CDC, pregnant people might be at an increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19 compared to non-pregnant people.

It is especially important for people at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19, and those who live with them, to protect themselves from getting COVID-19.

The best ways to protect yourself and to help reduce the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19 are to:

• Limit your interactions with other people as much as possible.
• Take precautions to prevent getting COVID-19 when you do interact with others.

If you start feeling sick and think you may have COVID-19, call your healthcare provider within 24 hours.
