The presence of SARS-CoV-2 infection has been associated with worse functional outcome and higher mortality among patients with acute stroke (11) ; in parallel, history of stroke has also been associated with more severe clinical symptoms and poorer outcomes in patients with COVID-19 (12) . From March 2 nd to April 30 th , 2050 patients were admitted to our center with RT-PCR confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection; of them 21 (1.02%) presented an acute ischemic stroke 21 and 4 (0.2%) suffered an ICH. Our study shows that the frequency of acute stroke in patients with COVID-19 requiring hospital admission is low (1%) and in most cases a usual cause of stroke was identified.	./cache/cord-270475-mkpn9tz6.txt	./txt/cord-270475-mkpn9tz6.txt
