Michigan woman dies after receiving COVID-infected lungs for transplant

Loading the player. A Michigan woman who received a double lung transplant died two months after contracting COVID-19. It turned out that the donor had coronavirus, doctors say.  The virus was transmitted when lungs from a woman who died from injuries suffered in a car accident, were transplanted into a woman with chronic obstructive lung disease last fall, according to PEOPLE. The procedure was conducted at the University Hospital in Ann Arbor, where a surgeon who handled the lungs was also infected but later recovered. The donor and recipient initially tested negative for the virus, but when the recipient fell severely ill days after the transplant surgery, she was tested again and the results were positive.
