Should pregnant women take special precautions to protect themselves, such as avoiding crowds?
It’s important that people continue their daily lives during the pandemic. PHAC doesn’t recommend that pregnant women avoid going to work, or community social events if they are healthy. In other crowded situations that cannot be avoided, extra precautions should be taken such as frequent handwashing, to avoid picking up the virus. Pregnant women might consider carrying hand sanitizer for the same purpose.
