Rav Chaim Kanievsky is quoted saying a pregnant woman may walk on the nails of a non-Jew.

Does Rav Chaim Kanievsky hold it's still an issue for pregnant women to walk on cut nails today? I recently heard he reportedly said it's not the same issue as it used to be - is there any published source that Rav Chaim Kanievsky said such an idea?

Seems implicit that he is only addressing those of a non-Jew. Doesn't sound like it has anything to do with these days or earlier days. – robev Dec 27 '20 at 19:59
@robev Agreed on the inference. It was really just serving as the introduction to the question of whether Rav Chaim holds something changed today – NJM Dec 27 '20 at 20:09
