Descripción
Sumario:This study aimed to investigate the demographic, clinical, and epidemiological statistics of Japanese patients attending a designated outpatient clinic for COVID‐19 in Sapporo, Japan, and contrast the clinical and epidemiological features between those with and without mild COVID‐19. A total of 27 (8.6%) of 315 patients were diagnosed with COVID‐19. They had higher proportions of myalgia, direct contact with a confirmed COVID‐19 patient, and attendance of social gatherings in close confines. We believe that our study makes a significant contribution to the literature because it provides a clinical picture of mild COVID‐19 in the Japanese population, which has not been studied extensively. It can also assist in optimizing the local preventive measures to reduce the transmission of COVID‐19.
