The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted daily life, including many people’s ability to exercise, which can boost mood, reduce stress and benefit one’s physical and mental health.

The study, whose findings are published in PLOS ONE), is among the first to examine the links between COVID-19, exercise changes and prenatal depression.
