In total, 2 of the 34 patients (5.88%) who underwent surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic were diagnosed with COVID-19. One of the 2 had thoracic trauma with multiple rib fractures and right haemothorax and required an emergency thoracotomy for damage control on 15 March. On the seventh postoperative day, the patient started showing symptoms of fever and pulmonary infiltrates on a CT scan, so he was tested with SARS-CoV-2 PCR, the results of which were positive; he was diagnosed with bilateral SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia.

The results of the latest test for SARS-CoV-2 were negative; he has been decannulated, and he does not require oxygen therapy.
