Being pregnant is an alarming process for expectant mothers, even if everything is fine. For example, they should not get any infection, control their activities, avoid certain foods, etc. They should avoid. These foods may even include shellfish and some types of cheese. Since drug use is limited and risky, all kinds of diseases pose a risk for a pregnant woman.
The main precaution that pregnant women should take to protect themselves from coronavirus is maintaining "social distance". Pregnant women should not leave the house unless they have to to protect themselves, and they should stay away from any environment where there is a possibility of contracting the virus.

Pregnant women diagnosed with gestational diabetes are at high risk of coronavirus.

The spouses, children and other family members of pregnant women must also fully comply with the isolation and social distance rules in order to avoid being carriers of the virus. This may include working from home (for those who can), cutting down on social contact and avoiding crowded areas.
Also general advice for pregnant women to help ensure a healthy pregnancy and as good an immune system as possible is iron (dark green).
