We report the cases of three premature babies delivered by two mothers with severe COVID-19 pneumonia, whose condition deteriorated to the point that necessitated the use of mechanical ventilation on the mothers as well as accelerated child delivery of the mothers. There have been very few reports of preterm delivery in mothers with COVID-19 and most babies have tested negative to SARS-CoV-2. 3, 4 In the few reported neonates who tested positive to SARS-CoV-2 via PCR, there is no evidence of in utero transmission, since infection in the immediate neonatal period could not be completely excluded. 5, 6 Preterm delivery was required in the three cases described in this report, since the mothers developed severe COVID-19 pneumonia. There was no evidence of in utero transmission, such that all the babies (3) tested negative to SARS-CoV-2 immediately after birth and at 24 hours, 5, and 14 days of life.	./cache/cord-351736-4x5u4qsy.txt	./txt/cord-351736-4x5u4qsy.txt
