Check locally: This is a USA based site as are most of our volunteer docs. We are seen worldwide. Patterns of lockdown/infection control vary with the country & cities involved as well as the location/facility. I would contact a local health authority for the applicable pattern in your area.

Birthing wi COVID 19: Currently expectant mothers are usually tested for COVID 19 upon admission for delivery. Procedure for a natural child birth is the same as for most uncomplicated births.

If mother is COVID positive, she may need to be separated from newborn for a period
