Abstract
At the time of writing (24th August 2020), it has been over 5
months since the first case of COVID-19 was diagnosed in South
Africa. Since then over 600,000 cases have been diagnosed in
South Africa, of which over 13,000 have unfortunately resulted in
death. The previous edition of the O+G Forum, three months ago
(issue 2, 2020), included an editorial about South Africa’s initial
response to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as an overview of
management of obstetric patients with COVID-19. Since then the
course of the pandemic has evolved and the scientific literature has
been dominated by publications relating to various aspects of the
pandemic and its management.
