This study presented a case of coronavirus disease 2019 pneumonia in a patient in isolation for 103 days. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 was positive in her last 4 days. Despite policies of temperature checks for employees and visitors, and employees facing patients wearing a mask, the transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 from an asymptomatic carrier was inevitable.
