Details

  • aetiological:

    • Confirmed SARS-CoV-2 - implies Infective

    • No evidence SARS-CoV-2 - implies Infective but not confirmed as SARS-CoV-2

    • Non-infective - presumed non infective

  • clinical presentation:

    • Pneumonia - implies Infective

    • NP-LRTI - implies Infective

    • No evidence LRTI (include CRDE and HF)

Some cases do not get a clinical presentation in this. Typically they are people who have an infective cause, but LRTI and pneumonia have been excluded. These could be URTI and or incidental COVID cases.
