Chest X-ray (Figure 1) taken on 18th Feb, and chest CT (Figure 2 (A, B, C)) taken on 27th Feb, revealed bilateral ground glass opacities (GGO).
(A, B, C) chest CT demonstrating bilateral ground glass opacities (GGO) involving all lobes of both lungs with consolidations and mild bronchiectasis mainly in the superior segments of the lower lobes of both lungs; halo sign involving the anterior segment of the left upper lobe with bilateral scattered areas of air rapping and septal thickening consistent with COVID-19; (D, E, F) chest CT indicating architectural distortion with traction bronchiectasis and focal areas of consolidations in the superior segments of the lower lobes of both lungs; peripheral GGO in all lobes of both lungs with smooth interstitial thickening suggesting progressive fibrosis following COVID-19

Chest X-ray (Figure 1) taken on 18th Feb, and chest CT (Figure 2 (A, B, C)) taken on 27th Feb, revealed bilateral ground glass opacities (GGO). Follow-up chest CT on day 17th of admission revealed architectural distortion with traction bronchiectasis and focal areas of consolidations in the superior segments of the lower lobes of both lungs along with bilateral peripheral ground glass opacities (GGO) (Figure 2(D, E F)).
