This study report focuses on facts on a pregnant woman of COVID-19 who admitted to Al Ahsa Maternity and Children Hospital on March 2020, with suspicion of COVID-19 infection. The patient was complaining of labor pain prior to presentation. The objective of this study is to report the case and to describe the challenges that are faced while dealing with a case of COVID-19 pregnant patient, during labor, delivery, and surgical intervention. This case reports a patient in labor pain with suspicion of COVID-19 infection due to contact with a positive COVID-19 family member. With no clinical signs or symptoms consistent with the disease, and positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) outcome for COVID-19 later on, the hospital main departments conducted an active contact tracing and reviewed the preparation and infection prevention control precautions. The most common problem with COVID-19 is the low level of awareness between healthcare workers related to infection prevention and transmission of the COVID-19 virus. The illness can be better handled and the medical team can be more secure by enhancing the education, case triage, proper guideline and protocols to be implemented appropriately.
本研究报告聚焦于一名2020年3月入住阿赫萨妇幼医院的新冠肺炎孕妇的实际情况，该孕妇疑似感染新冠肺炎。患者在就诊前主诉有宫缩痛。本研究的目的是报告该病例，并描述在处理一名新冠肺炎孕妇病例时，在分娩、接生及手术干预过程中所面临的挑战。该病例报告了一名因接触新冠肺炎阳性家庭成员而疑似感染新冠肺炎且有宫缩痛的患者。由于当时没有与该疾病相符的临床体征或症状，且后来新冠肺炎聚合酶链反应（PCR）结果呈阳性，医院各主要科室积极开展了接触者追踪，并审查了准备工作及感染预防控制措施。新冠肺炎最常见的问题是医护人员对新冠肺炎病毒感染预防和传播的认识水平较低。通过加强教育、病例分诊、适当实施正确的指南和规程，可以更好地应对该疾病，医疗团队也会更安全。
