Core Tip |
To study the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with different genders, clinical classification, and with or without basic diseases could provide more information for COVID-19 prevention and control. Our research found that many patients with COVID-19 had multiple organ dysfunction or damage. The higher attention of the government and residents on the prevention and control of COVID-19 was the key factor to control the development of COVID-19 epidemic. Wearing masks and home isolation could effectively cut off transmission routes and prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus. |
