Objective: To determine the effect of CoV-2 infection during pregnancy. Design: This study is a secondary investigation in the form of a systematic review. The research design was non-experimental, cross-sectional. Study setting: The study was carried out through a systematic literature review on the internet, as the phenomenon would not be studied in hospital settings due to quarantine measures imposed by the government under the COVID-19 context. Study subjects: The population consisted of 121 internet articles related to CoV-2 infection in pregnancy that met the inclusion criteria until July 2020. Instrumentation: No specific instruments were used in this study as it is a secondary study with an analytical approach. Results: In 67.1% of cases, no maternal complications due to CoV-2 infection were reported. In the remaining cases, 15.97% had pneumonia, followed by mechanical ventilation in 4% of cases, premature rupture of membranes (3.28%), Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome in 2.53%, and admission to the Intensive Care Unit (2.53%). Premature placental detachment occurred in 0.29% of cases, 1.49% developed preeclampsia, 0.14% developed sepsis, 0.44% progressed to HELLP syndrome, and 2.23% of cases resulted in death. The results showed that in 76.16% of cases, newborns had no complications from maternal CoV-2 infection. However, 12.53% of cases showed prematurity, followed by 2.53% with low birth weight, 2.98% with fetal distress, 0.44% with asphyxia, and 0.59% with death. Abortions occurred in 4.77% of cases during the first trimester. Conclusion: CoV-2 infection causes maternal and fetal complications, but there is no vertical transmission of the virus.
