Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Estimation of the weekly incidence of COVID-19 confirmed cases | 30 days after the COVID-19 suspected | Confirmed cases will be defined by the positivity of the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in RT-PCR and possibly by serology (for patients in whom a test is performed). The incidence rate of confirmed cases will be estimated from the number of new cases confirmed by a positive biological test reported in the patient population of the participating facilities. |
