Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a new infectious disease with no definitive treatment and subsequently became a global pandemic. It has a reported morbidity rate of 19% among health care workers. Patients infected with COVID-19 are at risk for developing respiratory failure requiring intubation. Careful infection control measures to prevent cross-infection to healthcare providers are necessary. While exact mechanisms of transmission are unknown, person to person horizontal transmission arise, and the risk of spread during aerosol-generating procedures is a major concern. This is a case of an anesthesiologist who developed cough, ageusia, and loose bowel movement after performing an intubation to a patient with difficult airway. She was diagnosed with COVID-19 and eventually made a full recovery. It highlights the clinical course of the illness from onset to recuperation and the need to understand optimal use of PPE in healthcare settings.
