SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy is not usually associated with significant adverse effects. However, in this study, we report a fetal death associated with mild COVID-19 in a 32-week-pregnant woman. The virus was detected in the mother, stillborn fetal nasopharyngeal swab and placenta . Placental and fetal alveolar abnormalities (histopathology) were consistent with maternal vascular – placental insufficiency and fetal asphyxia, probably the cause of fetal death. Fetal surveillance along with maternal surveillance is warranted in pregnant women with COVID-19 to have favourable outcome.
