Brief Summary

The objectives of this proposal are to: 1) determine the rate of SARS-CoV-2 seroconversion in unselected pregnant women in Hong Kong; 2) determine the rate of SARS-CoV-2 infection in women presenting with miscarriage and stillbirth; 3) follow the pregnancy course and perinatal outcome of confirmed COVID-19-infected pregnant cases; 4) determine the risk and characteristics of vertical transmission; and 5) evaluate the placental barrier, immune response and fetal damage in vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2. A series of longitudinal and cross-sectional observational studies, and a laboratory-based study will be conducted to fulfil the 5 objectives.
