Hello

Thank you. I was hoping to find if it's any clue of coronavirus infection? What do you think?

Corona virus infection very difficult to comment through chest x ray. But in x ray you can identify peripheral opacities, bilateral basal opacities and opacities near pleura.

Get it done ct chest to confirm diagnosis.
