Sooner or later we would need to restart transplant programs, both LDKT & deceased donor kidney transplant (DDKT), as dust settles on the acute era to a post-COVID-19 new normal, where severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection will be a possibility. During the further follow-up over next 2 months, 2 of these 7 patients tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 by nasopharyngeal swab real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR), 3 tested negative and 2 were not tested as they were asymptomatic. Due to intensive immunosuppression, recent transplant recipients (< 3 months post-transplant) are at increased risk of developing severe disease due to COVID-19. ./cache/cord-254464-6l7fwylu.txt ./txt/cord-254464-6l7fwylu.txt
