Consensus-based recommendation 5.E26
All specialist disciplines and professions involved in or present at the birth (medical specialties, nursing care, midwives, obstetrics, anesthesiology, pediatric medicine, etc.) must be informed at an early stage that a woman with SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID-19 disease will soon be giving birth as this will make it possible to implement the necessary protection measures effectively in an emergency.
