When an isolation room cannot be established, these patients may be placed in the last shift or sent to a COVID-19 designated dialysis facility. The following are the generally accepted criteria to discharge patients from COVID wards: • being afebrile for at least three consecutive days • having two negative respiratory SARS-CoV2 PCR tests done 24 hours apart • having improved respiratory symptoms with absorbed inflammation in imaging studies. Should this patient be accepted to a standard facility as the PCR tests are negative? In summary, we suggest that nephrologists should continue hemodialysis in an isolation room even if the patient is discharged. The decision to end the isolation should be given with an additional PCR test which is done 1 month after the patient was confirmed to have COVID-19. PCR assays turned positive in 25 discharged COVID-19 patients	./cache/cord-291023-vltxefr7.txt	./txt/cord-291023-vltxefr7.txt
