Furthermore, among the 5 intensive care units of our hospital, the one dedicated to transplants was maintained COVID-free, by testing each transplant recipient in advance with SARS-CoV-2 RNA in NPS or BAL, starting from the 22 nd of March. Between February 24 th , 2020 and April 17 th , 2020, among 22 admissions in our 7-bed sub-intensive liver unit, a 40-year-old woman, who was listed during hospitalization, developed fever during hospitalization and tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 RNA in NPSs. Immediately transferred to a COVID unit, she came back to our unit after 7 days and 2 negative SARS-CoV-2 RNA in NPS and underwent LT the day after readmission to our unit. Despite all our efforts to maintain a transplant COVID-free pathway, two transplant patients, one before and one after LT were tested SARS-CoV-2 virus positive during hospitalization and both were safely discharged home.	./cache/cord-317707-r0q7ipa6.txt	./txt/cord-317707-r0q7ipa6.txt
