Abstract
The first case of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the Lombardy region of Italy was confirmed in February 2020[SUP]1[/SUP] . Here, the outbreak resulted in the rapid overcrowding of several Emergency Departments (EDs), where physicians had little or no criteria to decide who needed hospitalization or could be discharged[SUP]2[/SUP] . Several studies described common patterns of symptoms[SUP]3-6[/SUP] (fever, cough, dyspnea, myalgia, fatigue) and chest radiological findings[SUP]3,5[/SUP] (consolidation, ground-glass opacity, bilateral infiltrations, interstitial abnormalities) in severe and non-severe COVID-19 patients.
