There is limited scientific evidence on the severity of illness among pregnant women and initial data show that they experience similar clinical symptoms as non-pregnant adult patients with COVID-19; at the same time, specific steps to protect them during pregnancy can be taken.<\/p>\n

ECDC has published four leaflets with key information on the disease, the means of preparations to be undertaken in their households and protection measures for their family and caregivers. A separate leaflet contains specific advice and rules on self-isolation or quarantine when presenting mild symptoms of COVID-19 or after exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 virus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Campaign #EsteVirusLoParamosUnidos<\/em><\/h3>\n

In addition, the Ministry of Health (Government of Spain) has launched the campaign Este virus lo paramos unidos<\/em> to encourage social distancing measures against the coronavirus. The main newspapers in the country and the digital versions have published a full-page campaign called #EsteVirusLoParamosUnidos<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The campaign disseminates information to stop the virus with phrases like these: “We’ll stop it if you don’t trust it”; “We’ll stop it if you get the message that it’s not going to be easy”; “We’ll stop it every time you wash your hands”; “We’ll stop it when you meet by video conference”; “We’ll stop it if you stay home”; “we stop it if you travel alone when it’s necessary”; “we stop it if you avoid crowded places”; “we stop it when you don’t share false information”; “we stop it if you help and listen to our professionals”; “we stop it when you trust that we’re going to get through this”.<\/p>\n

The campaign will also be broadcast on radio, television, press and internet during the next few days.<\/p>\n

Stopping the coronavirus is everyone’s responsibility. If you protect yourself, you protect others.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
