“…Diagnosis is based on the exposure history, clinical symptoms, laboratory test results, X-ray imaging findings, and a positive real-time reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) result for COVID-19. RT-PCR test is the current gold standard for identifying SARS-CoV-2 from respiratory specimens with suspected COVID-19 patients [13]. The purpose of this article is to analyze the maternal, fetal, and obstetric outcomes of pregnancies diagnosed with COVID-19 in the third trimester [14,15].…”

“…Racial and economic disparities in COVID-19 are multifactorial, influenced by social determinants of health and the cumulative impact of structural racism 4–6. Early testing for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is critical to protect against the viral spread by facilitating early isolation and allows for earlier intervention to improve COVID-19 outcomes 7,8. Early data indicated disparate access to SARS-CoV-2 testing, with Black patients being more likely to be tested in an emergency department (ED) or inpatient setting compared with an ambulatory setting and less likely to receive any testing compared with White patients 2,9,10.…”

“…[4][5][6] Early testing for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is critical to protect against the viral spread by facilitating early isolation and allows for earlier intervention to improve COVID-19 outcomes. 7,8 Early data indicated disparate access to SARS-CoV-2 testing, with Black patients being more likely to be tested in an emergency department (ED) or inpatient setting compared with an ambulatory setting and less likely to receive any testing compared with White patients. 2,9,10 Disparities in testing access may reflect barriers to health care unequally impacting racial/ethnic minority populations, such as less health insurance coverage, transportation difficulties, or living in neighborhoods lacking medical facilities.…”
