In this scenario, pregnant women represent a frail category of patients, as they are systematically excluded from trials and thus a candidate for focused evidence-based care. Ayurvedic management of second trimester pregnant woman having diagnosed with COVID-19 is reported in this paper.

The patient became asymptomatic on 5th day of treatment and on the 7th day of treatment, nasopharyngeal swab sample was taken for RTPCR, which was negative.
