Abstract

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2; previously called “2019-nCoV”; the virus that causes coronavirus disease [COVID-19]) has infected .1,773,000 patients and killed .111,650 people worldwide as of April 13, 2020 (1). It has been reported that a patient in Germany had high viral titers after the resolution of fever and infected two close contacts after the resolution of symptoms (2). In the wake of these cases, it is still unclear how long the patient was virus positive after the resolution of symptoms. In this study, we aimed to determine the time kinetics of viral clearance in reference to the resolution of symptoms in 16 patients treated in Beijing, China, and we show that half of the patients with COVID-19 were virus positive even after resolution of their symptoms.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
