Bo Zhou et al. Clin Infect Dis. .

Abstract

COVID-19 has drawn global intensive attention. We analyzed the duration of viral shedding and the total time from illness onset to discharge in groups. This has important implications for making decisions for isolation of discharged patients and to provide guidance for the duration of hospitalization of patients with severe COVID-19.

Keywords: COVID-19; discharged patients; viral shedding.
