Swimmer plot of the 30 informative COVID-19 cases, related to Figure 1

The definition of “informative case” is based on the detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in the respiratory mucosa by the RNAscope platform of ultrasensitive single-molecule fluorescence in situ RNA hybridization. The vertical axis shows the pseudonyms of the cases, with red labels indicating cases with ongoing viral replication at the time of death. The horizontal axis shows the period in days starting from the time the nasopharyngeal swab was taken that led to the diagnosis of COVID-19 by PCR (indicated by a test tube at day 0) until the time of death (indicated by a vertical stop line at the end of a bar). Hospitalization in a COVID-19 unit is indicated by the start of the orange bar (ICU, Intensive Care Unit) or the blue bar (ward).
