Today, I have written to Health Secretary Rt Hon Matt Hancock MP, to confirm what extra precautions pregnant women need to take in order to protect themselves during this pandemic.
There seems to be a contradiction between the NHS guidance, that only pregnant women with other health conditions are at higher risk, and the government advice for all pregnant women to take stringent social distancing measures. Again, this was a concern that came directly from our area and so I felt it necessary to bring it up with the Secretary of State. I also thanked him for his tireless commitment to the fight against Covid-19.
