Radiologists in sub-Saharan Africa must be fully cognizant of the radiological features of COVID-19 by referring to the aforementioned literature and the few cases they have from imaging patients with COVID-19 disease in their local setting. "Red" and "green" zones principle (minimize healthcare acquired infections): diagnosis of COVID-19 starts at the public health and primary care realms with clear case definition as developed by WHO [11] . At the same time, in the main hospital setting, it is imperative that the radiology managers and their staff get actively involved in the development of their institutional standard operating protocols (SOPs) on handling COVID-19 cases. "Red zone" operations demand designation of facilities including imaging for the COVID-19 diagnosed or suspected patients.	./cache/cord-298763-u5xn392m.txt	./txt/cord-298763-u5xn392m.txt
