Study by new research group looks at 16 women in S'pore infected by Covid-19 while pregnant

SINGAPORE - When auxiliary police officer Nurshila Zainal tested positive for Covid-19, it was more than just her life on the line, as at the time, she was 25 weeks pregnant.
"All six of my other family members had already tested positive, so before I tested positive, I was very anxious ," she said in an interview on Friday morning (Dec 18).
Thankfully, the 35-year-old mother of two recovered, and her baby daughter, who was born in July, was found to be virus-free. Both mother and daughter subsequently tested positive for antibodies against the disease.
Madam Nurshila is one of 16 women in Singapore who tested positive for Covid-19 while pregnant during the pandemic, and were all part of a recently released 16-patient study on the effect of Covid-19 on pregnant women.
