• Description:
  What is already known about this topic? Limited information suggests that pregnant women with COVID-19 might be at increased risk for severe illness compared with nonpregnant women.
  
  What is added by this report? In an Analysis of approximately 400,000 women aged 15–44 years with symptomatic COVID-19, intensive care unit admission, invasive ventilation, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and death were more likely in pregnant women than in nonpregnant women.
  
  What are the implications for public health practice? Pregnant women should be counseled about the risk for severe COVID-19–associated illness including death; measures to prevent infection with SARS-CoV-2 should be emphasized for pregnant women and their families. These findings can inform clinical practice, risk communication, and medical countermeasure allocation.
