Although typical imaging findings of COVID-19 pneumonia has been described it may be difficult at times to distinguish it from other viral pneumonias. In the following case series, we describe a typical sign i.e. Bull’s-eye sign in COVID-19 pneumonia. As this sign is not associated with any known pulmonary disease, so its presence may help radiologists to differentiate COVID-19 pneumonia from its mimics.
