The article presents a clinical case of 57-year-old patient with a severe form of lung damage by COVID-19, complicated by pneumothorax. Lung damage regressed, pneumothorax was stopped, and the patient was discharged for outpatient treatment after drug therapy and surgical intervention. Pneumothorax can be considered as one of the severe, life-threatening complications of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
