• The clinical presentation of COVID-19 ranges from asymptomatic to critical illness. Symptoms can vary over time and may progress in severity. Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 can occur before the onset of symptoms.
• Uncommon presentations of COVID-19 can occur, may vary by the age of the patient, and are a challenge to recognize.
• In adults, age is the strongest risk factor for severe COVID-19. The risk of severe COVID-19 increases with increasing age over 40 and with increasing number of certain underlying medical conditions.
