Not mild, not recovered, not hospitalised: huge gap
Something "more" is needed for those who are more than mildly affected by the virus; however, not ill enough to be hospitalised.
The virus symptoms - not necessarily fever and cough - along with the fear, anxiety and the wondering what could happen are extremely distressing. Follow-up/check-in should be instigated and testing carried out.
Repeated calls to NHS 111 for the same patient need to set off an alert/alarm.
For those who may have been hospitalised but (thankfully) not kept as an in-patient testing should be mandatory.
Why the contribution is important
Firstly, valuable data could be gathered to aid understanding; tracking and tracing and spread.
Secondly, these individuals need support and help.
Thirdly, could these individuals be a good source of research data, blood sampling etc.
