Treatment of pregnant women with COVID-19 is challenging for doctors,\u0000as they need to consider the safety of both the mother and fetus. In addition, there is a lack of\u0000knowledge regarding the safety, effectiveness, and possible adverse outcomes of drugs used in\u0000COVID-19 pregnant women because they are generally excluded from clinical trials.
