  • Description: Abstract SARS-CoV-2, the new coronavirus of severe acute respiratory syndrome, which causes a predominantly respiratory disease called COVID-19, quickly caused a pandemic, due to its high transmissibility, leaving a trail of deaths around the world. Initially, the pregnancy puerperal cycle was not associated with complications and mortality, only later was recognized as a risk group. As the disease progressed, the maternal mortality rate by COVID-19 increased, Brazil is responsible for an important portion. This rate may be even higher due to underreporting, difficulties in performing laboratorial tests and possible false negative results and depends on the health policies adopted by each region or country. It is important to carry out studies on maternal mortality so that the prognostic factors can be recognized and so avoid them. Resumo O SARS-CoV-2, novo coronavírus da síndrome respiratória aguda grave, que causa uma doença predominantemente respiratória denominada COVID-19, rapidamente ocasionou pandemia, devido a sua alta transmissibilidade, deixando um rastro de mortes pelo mundo. Inicialmente, o ciclo gravídico puerperal não foi associado a complicações e mortalidade, sendo posteriormente reconhecido como grupo de risco. Com o avançar da doença a taxa de mortalidade materna pela COVID-19 aumentou, sendo o Brasil responsável por uma parcela importante. Essa taxa pode ser ainda maior devido a subnotificação, dificuldades na realização dos exames laboratoriais e possíveis resultados falsos negativos e depende das políticas de saúde adotadas de cada região ou país. É importante a realização de estudos sobre a mortalidade materna para que se possa reconhecer fatores prognósticos e assim evita-las.
