All enrolled participants provided clinical and demographic data. Enrolled subjects had the option of selecting which biospecimens they would like to provide. Stool and urine were not collected from participants enrolled in the Urgent Care and Well-Visit cohorts for logistic reasons, unless these individuals were later hospitalized for COVID-19-related illness. Enrolled subjects could also consent to provide specimens, then later decline any or all specimen collection. Repeat biospecimen collection could occur if participants re-presented to care, or if hospitalized for multiple consecutive days
