- Abstract
Dear Editors, Since December 2019 the coronavirus pandemic has confronted physicians worldwide with a new disease associated with cough, fever and dyspnea [[1]]. After screening, all persons were initially managed as outpatients, 7 persons with positive test results, 1 HCW and 6 PRFs, needed hospitalization during the course of the disease (0.92%), 6 recovered well, while 1 person is still critically ill and requires intensive care treatment and mechanical ventilation. The present analysis confirms the rise in prevalence of positive tests correlating with the extent of the COVID-19 pandemic in Switzerland.
