The prevalence and influencing factors of COVID-19 in pregnant women post-relaxation of epidemic control measures in Hunan Province, China

A high prevalence of COVID-19 in pregnant women following relaxation of control measures has been observed at provincial scale in China. Most cases were mild, and few effects on newborns were observed. Higher education and income, living with infected family members, and having pulmonary disease were identified as risk factors, suggesting that mobility is the most critical factor influencing infection rates. This study provides useful references for epidemic prevention and control in the future.
