Clinical characteristics and symptom duration among outpatients with COVID-19.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Approximately 80% of people with COVID-19 do not require hospitalization. Studies examining the outpatient experience have not tracked symptoms to resolution leading to unknown expected symptom duration.
