Documented re-conversion on nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swab from negative to positive for SARS-CoV-2 OR nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swab continues to be positive for SARS-CoV-2 after previous treatment AND b. Clinical symptoms associated with COVID-19 (fever, cough, difficulty in breathing, fatigue, body ache, headache, diarrhea, nasal congestion) have either re-appeared after previous treatment OR continued to be present without improvement OR are aggravated AND c. Patient meet the below-mentioned criterion (# 3) for â??moderateâ?? or â??severeâ?? COVID-19 disease severity 3. Patients clinically assigned as â??moderateâ?? (Pneumonia with no signs of severe disease, respiratory rate 15 to 30/minute, SpO2 90%-94%) or â??severeâ??
