Abstract
The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention reported 80% of coronavirus infections were mild cases; hence, most cases will be managed in an outpatient setting. COVID-19 is associated with a hypercoagulable state; therefore, further research should be done on outpatient use of anticoagulation for VTE/PE prophylaxis in these patients.
Keywords: coagulation; coronavirus; kallikrein‐kinin; pneumonia; pulmonary embolism.
