In this special episode, Dr. Lena and Dr. Dean talk about the novel coronavirus, COVID-19. We discuss the dramatic public health responses to community transmission now ongoing in the US and much of the world. Why is “flattening the curve” so important? What are the risks to pregnant women and their offspring? And what are the ins and outs about social distancing?
