Most mild COVID-19 patients had upper respiratory infection syndromes [13] , but they also are strongly infectious, which causes dramatic difficulties in screening.

    Document: According to our data, upper respiratory infections were the major disease seen in the FC both before and after the COVID-19 outbreak. Most mild COVID-19 patients had upper respiratory infection syndromes [13] , but they also are strongly infectious, which causes dramatic difficulties in screening. Consequently, it was not possible to exclude COVID-19 merely based on clinical symptoms [14] . We found that patients' average age trended older after the outbreak [15] . A reasonable explanation for this was that patients with relatively severe diseases had to seek medical care in hospitals even though they faced a high risk of cross-infection with COVID-19. Older people generally have a higher risk of severe disease, but this difference did not exist in critically ill patients, likely because most critical patients were elderly people.
