Vertical transmission is the passage of infectious agents from an infected mother to her offspring. This may occur across the placenta, through breastmilk, or from direct contact during or after birth [8]. Concerning transplacental vertical transmission, disease-causing organisms overcome the protective barrier to infect the offspring during the antenatal, perinatal, or postnatal periods of gestation [8]. The result often increases fetal morbidity and mortality from complications like organ injury, morphological abnormalities, intrauterine growth restriction, and intrauterine fetal demise [9]. As a result, trimester-specific pregnancy screenings are done for infections with known vertical transmission. These include Parvovirus, Human immunodeficiency virus, Zika, Varicella-zoster, Rubella, Cytomegalovirus, and Toxoplasmosis [8,9]. Due to the novelty of SARS-CoV-2, there is insufficient evidence on transplacental transmission of this virus. Nonetheless, there are proposed mechanisms by which it may take place.
