• Enrollment: 449
• Est. completion date: March 7, 2022
• Est. primary completion date: March 7, 2022
• Accepts healthy volunteers: No
• Gender: All

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Laboratory-confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 by detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA by Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) from any specimen respiratory
• Admitted to the hospital within 36 hours
• Oxygen saturation of hemoglobin by pulse oximetry at room air =94%
• For patients admitted WITH respiratory symptoms, enrollment must occur within 36 hours of hospital admission.
