The Letter from Du0027Antiga L about concerns of transplanting patients in the context of COVID19 pandemic is very interesting [1]. COVID-19 designates the infection caused by the SARS-Cov2 virus. This illness originated in December, 2019, in Wuhan, China. Since then, it has been identified in more than 150 countries. The first case of COVID-19 in Portugal was notified in March 02, 2020.
