Abstract
We are currently involved in the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. A considerable number of
COVID-19 infected cases are asymptomatic but they can transmit the disease to others, especially healthcare
workers. In this study, we reported 8 incidentally detected cases of COVID-19 pneumonia in chest computed
tomography (CT) scan of patients referred to emergency department following multiple trauma without any
respiratory symptoms.
