ABSTRACT
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a novel acute respiratory disease that has been declared as a pandemic by World Health Organization (WHO) since March 11th 2020. General clinical manifestations of COVID-19 are fever, dry cough, and fatigue. Nonetheless, the majority of COVID-19 cases are asymptomatic. In Indonesia, COVID-19 was reported for the first time on March 2nd 2020. However, in the mid of March 2020 our hospital discovered 2 patients with COVID-19 sign and symptoms that were presented after being cared for several days, even though at that time our hospital hadn’t had any cases yet. Those patients were checked and all of them were positive for COVID-19. The objective of this case report is to raise the awareness of hospital-acquired COVID-19 infection possibility especially in the region with minimal cases so that healthcare staffs always be vigilant and don’t let their guard down towards COVID-19 dissemination threat which is still going on.

ABSTRAK
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) merupakan sebuah penyakit pernapasan akut baru yang dinyatakan sebagai sebuah pandemi oleh World Health Organization (WHO) pada tanggal 11 Maret 2020. COVID-19 memiliki manifestasi klinis umum berupa demam, batuk kering, dan lemas, namun sebagian besar kasus COVID-19 bersifat asimptomatik. COVID-19 pertama kali dilaporkan di Indonesia pada tanggal 2 Maret 2020. Akan tetapi, pada pertengahan bulan Maret 2020 di rumah sakit kami terdapat 2 pasien dengan tanda dan gejala COVID-19 yang muncul setelah beberapa hari dirawat di rumah sakit, meskipun pada saat itu rumah sakit kami belum memiliki kasus. Kedua pasien akhirnya diperiksa dan keduanya didapatkan positif COVID-19. Tujuan laporan kasus ini adalah untuk meningkatkan kewaspadaan terhadap kemungkinan terjadinya infeksi nosokomial terutama pada daerah dengan jumlah kasus yang masih minimal agar tenaga medis tidak lengah dalam menghadapi ancaman penyebaran COVID-19 yang masih akan terus berlanjut.
