A member asked:

I'm 5mnths+ pregnant have a recent wet cough, slight body pains, shortness of breath and have been to a municipal clinic (randburg) twice for antenatal care so i suspect exposure may have been at that facility because i am literally at home everyday?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible COVID: Definitely could be COVID or pneumonia & definitely could have been exposed @ the clinic. Call them ASAP to see @ getting tested for COVID & if negative you may need a chest X-ray (they can shield abdomen/baby) or a good physical exam & maybe an antibiotic These illnesses can sometimes be more severe in pregnancy so do not wait.
