The disease was named COVID-19 standing for coronavirus disease 2019. The objectives were to determine the epidemiological, clinical, laboratory, and radiological characteristics of COVID-19 patients.\nMETHODS: In this prospective descriptive study, 15 confirmed hospitalized cases of COVID-19 between 18th March and April 7, 2020 were followed-up till discharge.\nRESULTS: There were 15 reported patients infected by 3 imported index cases from Europe. The mean age of the patients was 28.06 (SD: 16.42 years). The patients' age stratification was as follows: 0-5 (2, 13.3%); 6-18 (2, 13.3); 19-50 (10, 66.7%), and 51-64 years (1, 6.7%). The patients were male (9, 60.0%) and female (6, 40.0%). Most of the patients had mild disease severity (13, 86.7%), followed by mild-moderate (1, 6.7%) and moderate-severe (1, 6.7%). The study revealed that 6 patients were asymptomatic, and 9 patients were symptomatic. The most common symptoms were: fever (n = 8; 53.3%), cough (n = 7; 46.7%), shortness of breath (n = 3; 20.0%), fatigue (n = 3; 20.0%), and taste and smell disorders (n = 4; 26.7%). All patients were recovered and discharged over a median of 8 between 8 and 21 days. The mean and Std. deviation values of the hematological were: WBC: 6.57 (1.86); neutrophil count: 3.75 (1.26); lymphocyte count: 1.87 (0.41); Hb: 13.89 (1.26); platelet count: 207.67 (52.21).\nCONCLUSION: All COVID-19 cases were linked to foreign visits with few local transmissions to close contacts without community transmission. The majority of cases were mild illnesses with full recovery.","tracks":[{"project":"LitCovid-OGER-BB","denotations":[{"id":"T1","span":{"begin":0,"end":8},"obj":"SP_7"},{"id":"T2","span":{"begin":194,"end":205},"obj":"NCBITaxon:11118"},{"id":"T3","span":{"begin":260,"end":268},"obj":"SP_7"},{"id":"T4","span":{"begin":282,"end":293},"obj":"NCBITaxon:11118"},{"id":"T5","span":{"begin":420,"end":428},"obj":"SP_7"},{"id":"T6","span":{"begin":522,"end":530},"obj":"SP_7"},{"id":"T7","span":{"begin":1199,"end":1204},"obj":"UBERON:0002048"},{"id":"T8","span":{"begin":1234,"end":1240},"obj":"UBERON:0002048"},{"id":"T9","span":{"begin":1285,"end":1290},"obj":"GO:0050909"},{"id":"T10","span":{"begin":1492,"end":1502},"obj":"CL:0000775"},{"id":"T11","span":{"begin":1523,"end":1533},"obj":"CL:0000542"},{"id":"T12","span":{"begin":1572,"end":1580},"obj":"CL:0000233"},{"id":"T13","span":{"begin":1620,"end":1628},"obj":"SP_7"}],"namespaces":[{"prefix":"NCBITaxon","uri":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/taxonomy/"}],"attributes":[{"subj":"T1","pred":"source","obj":"LitCovid-OGER-BB"},{"subj":"T2","pred":"source","obj":"LitCovid-OGER-BB"},{"subj":"T3","pred":"source","obj":"LitCovid-OGER-BB"},{"subj":"T4","pred":"source","obj":"LitCovid-OGER-BB"},{"subj":"T5","pred":"source","obj":"LitCovid-OGER-BB"},{"subj":"T6","pred":"source","obj":"LitCovid-OGER-BB"},{"subj":"T7","pred":"source","obj":"LitCovid-OGER-BB"},{"subj":"T8","pred":"source","obj":"LitCovid-OGER-BB"},{"subj":"T9","pred":"source","obj":"LitCovid-OGER-BB"},{"subj":"T10","pred":"source","obj":"LitCovid-OGER-BB"},{"subj":"T11","pred":"source","obj":"LitCovid-OGER-BB"},{"subj":"T12","pred":"source","obj":"LitCovid-OGER-BB"},{"subj":"T13","pred":"source","obj":"LitCovid-OGER-BB"}]},{"project":"hydroxychloroquine","denotations":[{"id":"T1","span":{"begin":1177,"end":1182},"obj":"Phenotype"},{"id":"T2","span":{"begin":1199,"end":1204},"obj":"Phenotype"},{"id":"T3","span":{"begin":1221,"end":1240},"obj":"Phenotype"},{"id":"T4","span":{"begin":1257,"end":1264},"obj":"Phenotype"}],"attributes":[{"id":"A1","pred":"hp_id","subj":"T1","obj":"http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/HP_0001945"},{"id":"A2","pred":"hp_id","subj":"T2","obj":"http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/HP_0012735"},{"id":"A3","pred":"hp_id","subj":"T3","obj":"http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/HP_0002098"},{"id":"A4","pred":"hp_id","subj":"T4","obj":"http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/HP_0012378"},{"subj":"T1","pred":"source","obj":"hydroxychloroquine"},{"subj":"T2","pred":"source","obj":"hydroxychloroquine"},{"subj":"T3","pred":"source","obj":"hydroxychloroquine"},{"subj":"T4","pred":"source","obj":"hydroxychloroquine"}]}],"config":{"attribute types":[{"pred":"source","value type":"selection","values":[{"id":"LitCovid-OGER-BB","color":"#93ec98","default":true},{"id":"hydroxychloroquine","color":"#ec93a7"}]}]}}
