Abstract

We profiled cases with non-respiratory symptoms (NRS) and asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 assessed within Mexico City’s Epidemiological Surveillance System. We show that initially asymptomatic or NRS cases have decreased risk of adverse COVID-19 outcomes compared to cases with respiratory symptoms. Comorbidity and age influence likelihood of developing symptoms in initially asymptomatic cases.
