In newborns, the highest proportion presented Apgar 7 to 10 at one minute in 95.5% and at 5 minutes in 100%, a newborn was found with a positive result for COVID-19. Conclusions: Neonates of pregnant women with mild COVID-19 are small for their gestational age, which leads us to presume compromised fetal growth, a positive COVID-19 test was had.
