The doctors of LWH advised these couples to protect themselves from the coronavirus by taking essential vitamins. This, the physicians said, will help prepare the body for pregnancy in order that IVF treatment can quickly start after the Covid-19 outbreak abates. “Couples that have yet to start the treatment can choose to freeze eggs if they are worried about the impact of Covid-19.
