  ABSTRACT: Introduction: Perioperative management of patients with corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) could be extremely challenging in order to keep the balance between providing optimal medical care and protecting health-care providers from the risk of infection. Also the respiratory effect of COVID 19 could also alter the course and outcome of surgery. Aim: We aim to report a 30-year-old COVID-19 patient who had emergency cesarean section on account of placenta praevia. Methodology: The cesarean section was done under subarachnoid block while there was no significant event perioperatively while preventive measures were taken to avoid cross infection with the managing team. Results: The patient had a safe anesthesia and surgery. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test was done fourth day after surgery was negative for the mother and child.
