This case series describes three distinct yet similar scenarios of COVID-19 positive patients with several underlying comorbidities, wherein two of the patients presented to our hospital with sudden onset right-sided weakness, later diagnosed with ischemic stroke, and one patient who developed an acute intracerebral hemorrhage during his hospital stay. A 76-year-old woman with a past medical history of type-II diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on nocturnal 3 L/min home oxygen, obstructive sleep apnea on BiPAP (bilevel positive airway pressure) at home, hypertension, and dyslipidemia was diagnosed with COVID-19 infection eight days prior to her admission. Stroke (both ischemic and hemorrhagic) occurring in the setting of COVID-19 is reported to have a worse patient prognosis, with a substantially higher risk of in-hospital mortality [9] .	./cache/cord-321461-1s3y9kc5.txt	./txt/cord-321461-1s3y9kc5.txt
