At 28 weeks pregnant with triplets, Maggie Sillero was diagnosed<\/a> with COVID-19, though she never showed any symptoms. Her babies — a girl and two boys — were delivered at 32 weeks by emergency C-section.<\/p>\n

On May 8, Sillero went to The Women’s Hospital of Texas and was admitted for observation due to her high-risk pregnancy. Doctors simply wanted to monitor her and the babies during the final weeks until the babies were born. She hadn’t left her home since March and the test for COVID-19 was performed as a routine precaution. She was shocked when she tested positive. Her husband tested positive as well and it is unclear whether he had been leaving the home while Sillero stayed home.<\/p>\n

“When I got the news, it was very shocking. I could not believe it,” she said.<\/p>\n
