Infants born to mothers who experienced severe or critical COVID-19 during pregnancy are 10 times more likely to develop a neurodevelopmental delay in their first three years of life, according to new research.
The study, recently published in Nature, found that infants exposed to SARS-CoV-2 in utero scored lower in communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem-solving, and personal-social domains, with language development being the most affected domain.
