Recent findings revealed that patients with severe cases of COVID19 who are admitted to the intensive care unit with respiratory failure had a predominant hypercoagulable state leading to thromboembolism [1] . We present a case of a healthy patient who presented to the hospital with dyspnea, was found to be COVID-19 positive, and was diagnosed with an acute saddle pulmonary embolism. The incidence of acute pulmonary embolism in a patient with COVID-19 remains unknown [6] . Our patient was a healthy male who presented with no risk factors for thromboembolic disease and no symptoms of viral pneumonia but still developed a large saddle embolism.	./cache/cord-302244-uwicyuhk.txt	./txt/cord-302244-uwicyuhk.txt
