As cases accumulate, the COVED Project aims to determine and report the clinical and epidemiological predictors of a positive SARS-CoV-2 test result and the requirement for intensive respiratory support among patients presenting to the ED with suspected COVID-19. In the first full month of the COVED Project, the daily number and proportion of patients with a positive SARS-CoV-2 test remained relatively low, but the rate of patients presenting to the ED with suspected COVID-19 increased significantly. The low incidence of SARS-CoV-2 positive results over the first full month of the COVED Project has precluded valid inferential analyses regarding how COVID-19 patients differ in terms of their demographic features, clinical presentation, severity risk factors, need for intensive respiratory support and key outcomes.	./cache/cord-338203-le5lbw5y.txt	./txt/cord-338203-le5lbw5y.txt
