Hey everyone!
Is Covid-19 considered "self limiting "or an "acute uncomplicated illness"? Im trying to figure EM level .
Thanks!
 
Unfortunately, no problem can be considered a certain level all the time. It always depends on the severity of the problem and documentation. Let's say all 3 patients below had a positive Covid19 test.
Patient one could have zero symptoms, but was exposed and wants to be tested.
Patient two could have just some minor congestion.
Patient three could have a low oxygen level and you call an ambulance to take them to the ER.
The level for complexity of problems for each is different, but they all have the same diagnosis of Covid19.
