Overview

COVID-19 is a rapidly evolving situation and a heterogenous disease entity. A suspected or confirmed CVOVID-19 patient can have as common finding as fever and as unique yet significant finding as anosmia. Although, the most common physical examination findings in patients infected with coronavirus include fever, cough, and shortness of breath.[1] The patient may just have abdominal pain and tenderness on examination.[2] The general appearance of the patient infected with coronavirus-19 depends on the severity of the illness. High clinical suspicion and careful physical exam are they key to early diagnosis and treatment of SARS CoV2 infection.

Physical Examination

Physical exam of a suspected or confirmed case of SARS CoV2 patient should be conducted in a private room, preferably a negative pressure one. The examiner should have PPE that includes gloves, gowns or aprons, masks, or respirators covering the mouth and nose, goggles, and face shields.[3] If possible and the patient is in no respiratory distress, patient should wear a surgical mask.[4]
