Conclusion
In the cohort of perinatal women with COVID-19, there was a significantly greater burden on women’s physical health and wellbeing, in particular there was reduced energy and motivation in women with SARS-CoV-2. Mental health and psychological status was similar in both groups, this may reflect that the higher mental health needs are not linked to infection but rather the social, cultural and health care environment. High quality of care during a pandemic is possible to deliver in a maternity setting, irrespective of COVID status.
