The important issue to consider is COVID-19 screening of donors (deceased/ living) and recipients before transplantation. The prevailing COVID-19 pandemic has largely depleted the healthcare systems of their capacity to continue transplantation with the transplant team members being redeployed into the care of virus infected patients. Transplant recipients and living donors should be separated from suspected or confirmed COVID-19 infected patients during the in-hospital stay and outpatient visits. ./cache/cord-256332-ha7tx1fo.txt ./txt/cord-256332-ha7tx1fo.txt
