Abstract
Today, due to the pandemic of novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), extensive information over all parts of the world is spreading rapidly. We present seven cases of COVID-19 patients with pneumothorax as one of the ominous side effects of the disease and a strong predictor of death which is a new challenge in controlling the transmission and distribution of the disease.
