Brazilian government advises women to delay pregnancy a bit

For the official, the new variants of COVID-19 registered at the South American giant would be “more aggressive” in pregnant women, although he admitted that there was no national or international study to verify his words.

“Before, the severity was linked to the end of the pregnancy, but now a more serious development is observed in the second trimester and even in the first trimester” of pregnancy, explained Camara, while the health portfolio analyzes the vaccination of all pregnant women.

With 13.7 million people infected and more than 365,000 deaths, Brazil is the second country hardest hit by the coronavirus in the world and the most affected in Latin America.
