Major impacts of COVID-19 were reported for 8\u00a0of\u00a049 guideline recommendations. Impacts included reduced: support for mothers due to visitor restrictions; availability of cultural and spiritual support and interpreters; involvement of support people in decision-making; options for memory-making and commemorative rituals; and staff training and supervision. Adaptations to minimise impacts included virtual consultations, online staff training, use of cold cots, and increased staff support for memory-making.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec id=\"j_jpm-2021-0441_abs_004\">\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Health care providers encounter substantial challenges as they strive to implement best practice perinatal bereavement care in pandemic conditions.
