Abstract
The novel coronavirus disease 2019 is a highly contagious viral infection caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 virus. Its rapid spread and severe clinical presentation influence patient management in all specialties including thoracic surgery. We report 3 cases of coronavirus disease 2019 occurring in patients shortly after thoracotomy and thoracoscopy procedures, illustrating the imminent threat of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection for thoracic surgery patients.Entities:
