To the Editor,
We would like to share ideas on “Anxiety and fear in pregnant women of being infected by COVID-19 in new Delta pandemic [1].” Moghadam et al. concluded that “Our study showed that use of telehealth and selective alterations in neuro-oncological care during… with the emergence of the Delta variant [1].” The anxiety and fear are common when there is a new emerging disease [2]. Regarding delta variant, it is a new disease and the data is usually limited when it emerges in a new setting. It is no doubt that a pregnant will feel anxious against COVID-19 Delta variant. However, when time pass and there are more data, anxiety among local people will decrease. In our settings in developing Asian countries, where COVID-19 and COVID-19 delta variant early affected, the observation on anxiety of local people during early emergence of the infection is also reported and when disease widespread, anxiety level of local people decrease [3].
