Now that we've learned about the basic virology and pathophysiology of COVID-19, we can ask: how are COVID-19 cases managed in the hospital setting?

In this episode, you'll learn about:

• the typical clinical course of COVID-19,
• how to stratify risk of death from the infection based on pre-existing condition(s),
• how to triage cases based on clinical features, and
• general treatment guidelines for the management of COVID-19
