Maternal death refers to the death of a woman during pregnancy, during delivery, or within 42 days after the termination of pregnancy, and for any reason exaggerated by the pregnancy condition or pregnancy process regardless of the duration and location of the pregnancy. Starting on 11 March 2020 in Turkey, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a total of 5,638,178 confirmed cases and 51,048 deaths. Our case aged 24 years was a young mother having severe weight loss since the beginning of pregnancy because of malnutrition due to depression, smoking, and nausea. The weight loss of the patient, who was infected by COVID-19 in a short while after the last visit in family healthcare, became more severe, the general appearance became worse, and she gave preterm birth in the 30th gestational week. The cardiopulmonary arrest occurred during the delivery. Although necessary interventions were made, the patient was lost on the same day. Since it is a rare case, this case is presented together with a literature review.
