This study identified a statistically significant increase in morbidity and mortality rates due to severe acute respiratory syndrome in pregnant women and newborns in the state of Rio de Janeiro during the pandemic. There is a clear need for greater investment to reduce harm to these groups, such as vaccination and access to the healthcare system, as well as highly complex infrastructure throughout the state.
