Abstract
Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syn-
drome -Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). It is an emerging disease that was discovered and the first
confirmed case was reported in Wuhan, China since December 2019. It is a highly contagious
disease that is spreading rapidly around the world and resulting in the number of infections and
deaths of the world’s population. It is transmitted from person to person through droplets in the
nose or mouth when coughing or sneezing or touching objects contaminated with the virus. When
an infection occurs, it results in complications of many systems, especially the respiratory sys-
tem. Each patient’s symptoms are different. Some patients are asymptomatic and some patients
have severe symptoms resulting in respiratory failure. The World Health Organization (WHO) has
declared it a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). The number of infected
people in Thailand is not likely to decrease. Many infected people have severe symptoms that lead
to death. Nurses play an important role in caring for and monitoring complications. Especially in
groups with risk conditions such as pregnant patients. The use of the nursing process in holistic
patient care will provide the best care. It is appropriate and covers physical and mental aspects.
Reduce the incidence of complications and mortality for mother and child. And allowing the preg-
nancy to continue until the full term is delivered safely.
