Is it possible to lose characters during task switching in RTOS?

I haven't checked the source for mbed-rtos. But in my mind, task and thread swtiching will enter some critical section, in this transit period, all interrupts are disabled.

I wonder if it will cause data lost during this perioid. I am working on a project with three USART, one for VT100 terminal and the rest two are dedicated for Cellular modems on 115.2kbps.
