Risk Management during the Clinical Course of COVID‐19. Different strategies of risk management in different periods of COVID‐19. Leukocytosis was defined as white blood cells count greater than 10 × 109/L. Lymphocytopenia was defined as lymphocyte count less than 0.8 × 109/L. Risk factors for male: age ≥ 50 years, with hypertension, D‐dimer > 1 μg/mL, PCT ≥ 0.25 ng/mL, CRP > 10 mg/L, leukocytosis, lymphocytopenia, and IL‐6 ≥ 14 pg/mL. Risk factors for female: IL‐8 ≥ 62 pg/mL, IL‐2R > 710 U/mL, cTnI > 15.6 pg/mL, leukocytosis, lymphocytopenia, and IL‐6 ≥ 14 pg/mL. aTime from illness onset
