The report says the Health Ministry is still investigating the case, which is relatively mild, and has not yet decided whether a mixture of the two viruses causes more severe illness.
Health officials estimate many other patients have also come down with both bugs but have not been diagnosed.
“Last year we saw cases of flu among women who were pregnant or giving birth,” said Arnon Vizhnitser, an obstetrics and gynecology specialist and director of the hospital’s gynecology department.
“Today we are seeing cases of coronavirus and flu beginning to appear. We are seeing more and more pregnant women with the flu,” Vizhnitzer added.
According to Vizhnitser, it is a great challenge dealing with a woman who comes in with a fever at childbirth and you do not know if it`s coronavirus or the flu, so you refer to them the same. Most of the illness is respiratory.
