A cross-sectional study of patients presenting for hospital-based screening for COVID-19: risk of disease, and healthcare access preferences.	2020-04-18		.txt	text/plain	2495	147	59	We assessed the proportion of patients who met screening criteria; self-reported symptom severity; reasons why they came to the ED for screening; views on community-based models of care; and sources of information accessed about COVID-19. Conclusions: if we are to ensure that emergency departments can cope with the likely surge in presentations requiring resuscitation or inpatient care COVID-19, we should strengthen access to alternative services to triage patients to prevent unnecessary presentations at health services, and to direct those who are well but require screening away from EDs. The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) risks placing "overwhelming demands on our health system". Unnecessary presentations for testing during this phase places additional strain on the public health service, including EDs. As we enter the pandemic phase of SARS-CoV-2, it will become critically important that the right patient is assessed, and then if necessary, treated at the right facility.	./cache/cord-335951-m1e9raz3.txt	./txt/cord-335951-m1e9raz3.txt
