Abstract
Chest X-ray is a vital screening tool used in the emergency department for patients with the features of COVID-19 when awaiting virological real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction results. It aids in early recognition and early initiation of therapy. Chest X-rays may reveal a range of abnormalities, from typical findings like bilateral ground-glass densities to more uncommon ones like pneumomediastinum. Here, we report a case series of four patients with COVID-19 of moderate severity and their chest X-ray findings.
