Multivariable logistic regression was conducted to display the effect of potential risk factors (age, sex, comorbidities, smoking history and children living in household) for hospitalization. All moderate, severe and deceased cases were pooled as hospitalized in the context of the regression analysis. All asymptomatic and mild cases were pooled for the outpatient group. n = 897.
