Table 3 Table 4 shows the physiological and demographic features of those patients who were prescribed antimicrobial therapy OR admitted for clinical reasons (as a group that represents those patients requiring medical input) compared to the other patients seen who were either managed as outpatients, or admitted due to being unable to self-isolate. Fever ≥37.5° and shortness of breath as a symptom were the only predictors of requiring antimicrobials or admission for a clinical need.
