7. Symptoms
The average time from exposure to symptom
onset is 5 days, and 97.5% of people who
develop symptoms do so within 11.5 days.
Common symptoms in hospitalized patients
• fever (70%-90%)
• dry cough (60%-86%)
• shortness of breath (53%-80%)
• fatigue (38%)
• myalgias (15%-44%)
• nausea/vomiting or diarrhea (15%-39%)
• headache, weakness (25%)
• rhinorrhea (7%).
• olfactory and/or gustatory dysfunctions (64%-80%)
9. Common Complications
• pneumonia (75%), ARDS (15%)
• acute liver injury (19%)
• cardiac injury, including troponin elevation (7%-17%), acute heart
failure, dysrhythmias, and myocarditis
• prothrombotic coagulopathy resulting in venous and arterial
thromboembolic events (10%-25%)
• acute kidney injury (9%)
• neurologic manifestations, including impaired consciousness (8%)
• acute cerebrovascular disease (3%)
• shock (6%)
10. Current Evidence-Based
Treatments
• Dexamethasone therapy reduces 28-day
mortality in patients requiring supplemental
oxygen compared with usual care (21.6% vs
24.6%; age-adjusted rate ratio, 0.83 [95% CI,
0.74-0.92])
• Remdesivir improves time to recovery
(hospital discharge or no supplemental
oxygen requirement) from 15 to 11 days.
• In a randomized trial of 103 patients with
COVID-19, convalescent plasma did not
shorten time to recovery.

Invasive Mechanical Ventilation for Covid-19–Related Respiratory Failure.
lung-protective ventilation with low tidal volumes (4-8 mL/kg, predicted body weight) and plateau pressure less than 30 mg Hg is recommended.7
Samples were obtained from 70 hospital inpatients who had a diagnosis of Covid-19. Panel A shows SARS-CoV-2 RNA titers in the first available nasopharyngeal and saliva samples. The lines indicate samples from the same patient. Results were compared with the use of a Wilcoxon signed-rank test (P<0.001). Panel B shows percentages of positivity for SARS-CoV-2 in tests of the first matched nasopharyngeal and saliva samples at 1 to 5 days, 6 to 10 days, and 11 or more days (maximum, 53 days) after the diagnosis of Covid-19.
Filtration Efficiency of Hospital Face Mask Alternatives
In a study of fitted face mask alternatives, expired N95 respirators with intact elastic bands and masks that had been subjected to ethylene oxide and hydrogen peroxide sterilization had unchanged fitted filtration efficiencies (FFEs) > 95%, while N95 respirators in the wrong size had FFEs of 90%-95%. As a group, surgical and procedure masks had lower FFEs relative to N95 respirators, with masks secured with elastic ear loops showing the lowest performance.
Bottom Line: When new N95 respirators are unavailable, N95 respirators past their expiration date; sterilized, used N95 respirators; and other less common respirators can be acceptable alternatives.

After completion of the simulation and before doffing, the fluorescent markers on the participants were visualized and photographed under UV light. Of 8 participants, 6 had markers on the neck (A and B) and 1 had markers on the ear (C). Distribution of the markers on all participants is shown with each color representing 1 participant (D).
