"In future epidemics, it may be prudent to look at labour and delivery screening numbers much earlier on, as pregnant women continue to seek essential care despite social-distancing measures and also represent the generally young and healthy community population," Dr Maru added.

Dr Maru said universal screening in the labour and delivery unit ensured the safety of patients and staff during an acute surge in Covid-19 infections through appropriate identification and isolation of pregnant women with positive test results.

In addition to their status for Covid-19, the study reviewed patients' demographic data, including age, ethnicity, primary language, zip code, marital status, health insurance status and clinical data, including the mode of delivery, length of stay, and comorbidities such as chronic hypertension, preeclampsia, pre-pregnancy obesity, asthma, diabetes, depression and anxiety.

Earlier, a study published in the journal 'JAMA Network Open' revealed that 95 per cent of women who tested positive for Covid-19 during pregnancy had no adverse outcomes.
