A 23-year-old new mother from the Pirot district, who gave birth by caesarean section at the Clinical Center in Nis a few days ago due to complications from Covid, passed away this morning after her condition suddenly worsened, it has been confirmed for Telegraf.rs.

"That patient is an example of how abruptly the coronavirus disease can change the condition (of a patient). A young woman, 23 years old, without any diseases, unfortunately in the ninth month of pregnancy became infected with Covid. The situation was stable, suddenly it deteriorated and we decided to perform a caesarean section," Director of the University Clinical Center in Nis Professor Dr. Zoran Perisic said earlier in the morning.

He added that a healthy girl weighing 3,400 grams was born.

"We had to return the mother to intensive care immediately, because her saturation dropped from 90 to 70 percent within 15 minutes. She is now also well and is slowly moving towards recovery," the doctor said and added that this is an example of how the disease can suddenly deteriorate.

In addition to her, two more pregnant women are hospitalized in this health institution.
