PLEASE NOTE: Due to changes in COVID-19 testing and reporting across the country we will no longer be updating the map on our website. For the Canadian epidemiology of COVID-19 in pregnancy, we recommend referencing our regularly published reports and manuscripts linked below.
Globally, there is limited data on COVID-19 in pregnancy to inform recommendations for pregnant women and their care providers. This national surveillance project serves to better our understanding of the epidemiology and outcomes associated with COVID-19 in pregnancy and to thereby provide critical data to inform recommendations for pregnant women and their infants. A national approach, with regional leadership across Canada, is in progress with provincial/territorial data collection being combined for a national dataset of cases of COVID-19 in pregnancy. This project also lays the foundation for additional COVID-19 research through the establishment of a biospecimen repository from COVID-19 affected mother-infant pairs.
Coordinating centre lead: Dr. Deborah Money, Professor, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Medicine, & SPPH Clinician Scientist, Women’s Health Research Institute

As a sub-protocol of the Canadian Surveillance of COVID-19 in Pregnancy: Epidemiology, Maternal and Infant Outcomes, the Rapid Response Maternal-Infant Clinical and Biospecimen Access Platform, or Biorepository Study was developed to better understand the burden of COVID-19 on pregnancy. To do this, we have established a Biorepository of data and samples for future studies related to COVID-19 in pregnant populations.
Recruitment for the Biorepository Study is now closed.
