Evolution of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Patients in Extremadura

At the end of January 2020, the international community was informed of the presence of a new viral disease that started in Wuhan (China) and spread rapidly throughout the world. The identified virus belonged to the coronavirus family (SARS-CoV-2) and the disease was named COVID-19. Today there are more than 2 million people diagnosed in Spain and more than 40 thousand in Extremadura. The partial knowledge about the development, evolution of the affected citizenship and their prognosis both early and late makes it necessary to analyze in depth their global and particular characteristics. We will carry out a multicenter, observational, descriptive, cross-sectional and longitudinal study of patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 virus infection in the Community of Extremadura to determine the effectiveness of drug treatments and the clinical and evolutionary characteristics of these patients and the different factors that may influence its evolution.
