Pregnant women in Georgia with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection within 30 days before or at delivery experienced a considerably higher risk of MD and post-delivery ICU admission and a slightly higher risk for CS delivery. Additionally, the results highlighted that most pregnant women were not vaccinated against COVID-19. These findings should alert stakeholders that adherence to public health preventive measures needs to be improved.
