These 2 patients apparently were part of a community of at least 200 heart transplant survivors in that region and presented with variable severity of disease (one mild and another with more severe manifestations requiring a prolonged hospitalization); however, both survived the event. It is important to note that the clinical presentations were not distinct from those described in non-immunosuppressed individuals, and the patient with severe disease presented with a viral prodrome, displayed the typical findings on CT scan imaging, and progressed to clinical hypoxia. In summary, the novel coronavirus and its disease, COVID-19, require thoughtful approaches for the prevention, mitigation, timely detection, and appropriate therapeutic intervention for our vulnerable patients.	./cache/cord-317429-pp6hb4q5.txt	./txt/cord-317429-pp6hb4q5.txt
