This case report describes a young woman, pregnant in week 33, who was admitted to hospital with severe COVID-19 pneumonia. As her condition worsened over the next few days with increasing respiratory distress and oxygen needs, it was decided to perform a subacute caesarean delivery. The patient improved rapidly over the next days following the delivery, and the neonate, who tested negative for COVID-19, was vigorous after two days of nasal continuous positive airway pressure. This case emphasises that delivery by cesarean section should be considered as a treatment option in pregnant women with severe COVID-19 infection.
