Note: COVID‐19 suspect cases are those in whom the investigators suspected COVID‐19 based on a clinical pattern of symptoms, exposure to confirmed/probable cases of COVID‐19 within the past 14 days, and general guidance from the clinical guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), Government of India. They were divided into: aCOVID‐19 suspect (not tested)—in the absence of rapid antigen test or RT‐PCR test report; bRT‐PCR negative COVID‐19 suspect—with a negative RT‐PCR test report; cas defined by the MoHFW, Government of India (for severity, all percentages are out of a total of confirmed and suspect infections).
Abbreviations: ASD, atrial septal defect; CAD, coronary artery disease; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; ILD, interstitial lung disease; RHD, rheumatic heart disease; RT‐PCR, reverse‐transcriptase polymerase chain reaction.
