Pregnant women are under threat of Covid after the first 28 weeks, says Dr. Sanath Lanerolle, a senior specialist at Castle Street Women's Hospital. This was stated by Dr. Sanath Lanerolle at a media briefing held in Colombo today (06) regarding Covid infection and threat on pregnant. "About 80% of women who develop the disease at the first 28 weeks have no symptoms. If you do a PCR test, then you can detect it. During this time, complications in the baby are less. Complications can increase, and pregnant mothers should seek immediate medical attention if they have any suspicious symptoms," he stated. Meanwhile, the Government Medical Officers' Association says that the method of admitting Covid patients to hospitals should be reconsidered. The association points out that many people infected with Covid are still at home. This was stated by Dr. Prasad Colombage, Member of the Central Committee of the Government Medical Officers' Association. "Many patients are suffering from respiratory problems due to the new virus. With the increase in the number of patients, there are some problems in the health sector," he said.
