Early identification and isolation of asymptomatic patients are of great importance for reducing the speed of propagation of the COVID-19 pandemic. Incidentally diagnosed cases have made us consider that there is a need to increase the number of screening tests. We also believe that healthcare staff should suspect COVID-19 pneumonia in every patient irrespective of presentation type, place importance on the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and not examine any patient without wearing PPE.
