RCOG have produced version 2.1 on Friday 19 June 2020. Additions include the following statement;
‘When reorganising services, maternity services should be particularly cognisant of emerging evidence that black, Asian and minority ethnic group (BAME) individuals are at particular risk of developing severe and life-threatening COVID-19. There is already extensive evidence on the inequality of experience and outcomes for BAME women during pregnancy and birth in the UK. Particular consideration should be given to the experience of women of BAME background and women living with multiple deprivation when evaluating the potential or actual impact of any service change.’
