Abstract
in English, German

Pregnant employees should be protected, particularly in crisis situations. The Maternity Protection Act states that employees are not allowed to have contact with infectious people, including people with SARS-CoV-2 infections; no new regulation is required here.

Schwangere Mitarbeiterinnen sollten insbesondere in Krisensituationen geschützt werden. Im Mutterschutzgesetz wird ausgeführt, dass Mitarbeiter keinen Kontakt zu Infektiösen haben dürfen, darunter fallen auch Menschen mit SARS-CoV-2 Infektionen; hier bedarf es keiner neuen Regelung.

Keywords: Acute care medicine; Coronavirus; Employees; Pregnancy; Prevention.
