Like many others, Jessica Carrillo has to put aside the fear of getting the coronavirus to go out and work in the studios of Al Rojo Vivo (Telemundo) in Miami.

“Under the circumstances everything [is] fine, at least in my environment we are following the precautions of life. I never thought that this would happen when I was pregnant,”the journalist, who is four months pregnant, tells People en Español. “Now having a baby in the womb is a double responsibility. I am taking every precaution to take care of myself and mine."

What are those precautions?

“I try to have the least contact with people, I clean the doors. I know that I am pregnant, the precautions that I must take and what my doctor has told me is to take all the precautions that everyone should take”, explains the Mexican. "[Being pregnant] does not make us more or less vulnerable, everyone is vulnerable to being able to contract the virus."

Doctor Juan Rivera subscribes it. "Pregnant women have to have the same precautions as everyone else. It is not that because they are pregnant they can become infected more easily”, he highlights. "What does happen is that if they get sick, it is more difficult to treat them because they cannot be given enough medications because of the risk that the baby could have."

Hygiene, caution and, of course, a positive mind. “I am super calm and positive. I am in my house a lot of the time and that has helped me, the nausea still continues, I cannot control it, but it is the least important, I am happy, the tummy is growing more,”says Carrillo, who prepares the day's work every tomorrow from home.

"Like me, there are many people who cannot stay at home and we have to go out to work and look for daily bread," he observes. "But if they are going to go out, you have to take precautions: do not go near people, [wash] your hands constantly, use antibacterial gel. Take off your shoes and clothes when you enter [home], [they can] take off their clothes in the bathroom so that they can live with the family, we have to take care of this invisible enemy”.
