Question:

139. Deputy Alan Dillon asked the Minister for Health if his Department will update Covid-19 advice for pregnant women to include the findings of The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and The Royal College of Midwives and the Faculty of Occupational Medicine that women who are 28 weeks pregnant and beyond are at an increased risk of becoming severely ill upon contraction of the virus; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Given the role of the HSE’s National Women & Infants Health Programme in the dissemination of pregnancy related clinical guidelines, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
