This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
Wuhan has the highest number of deaths and mortality from COVID-19 in China to date, but the reason remains unknown. Here we compared patients with COVID-19 with a history of traveling in Wuhan with those who did not travel in Wuhan in the early stage of pandemic with respect to a series of clinical characteristics and laboratory parameters. We observed that patients who had traveled in Wuhan had an increased rate of severe disease and longer viral duration along with fewer CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, although there was no significant difference in viral load between the two groups.
