    Abstract:
    The median time of SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA shedding was 19 days. Patients with coronary heart disease comorbidity or decreased albumin levels experienced delays in clearance of SARS-CoV-2 RNA. https://bit.ly/2zjQu64 Since there is an increasing number of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases confirmed in multiple countries around the world, resulting in alarmingly high mortality and morbidity [1], the World Health Organization has declared a global pandemic [2]. To our knowledge, most current research on COVID-19 focuses on the epidemiology, clinical features and treatment, but not on viral RNA shedding. Here, we discuss COVID-19 viral RNA conversion time and the risk factors associated with viral RNA shedding in a large patient cohort.
