Abstract
in English, German

Continued employment of pregnant women related to COVID (Corona Virus Disease) should only be considered if the risk of infection in the workplace is not higher than that of the general population. This option should therefore be carried out after an individual risk assessment with a precise description of the patient clientele and definition of the activities to be performed.

Eine Weiterbeschäftigung von Schwangeren in Zusammenhang mit COVID (Corona Virus Disease) sollte nur in Erwägung gezogen werden, wenn das Infektionsrisiko am Arbeitsplatz nicht höher ist als das der Allgemeinbevölkerung. Diese Maßnahme sollte daher nach individueller Gefährdungsbeurteilung mit genauer Beschreibung von Patientenklientel und Definition der auszuübenden Tätigkeiten erfolgen.
