Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review.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.

Out of 41 patients who tested positive; 51% were asymptomatic, 36% had mild symptoms, 12 required admissions in ward and 4 in intensive care. Mechanical ventilation, systemic steroids, Remdesivir and IVIG were required in those admitted to intensive care unit. Out of 4 deaths (9.7%), 3 occurred in adolescent age and 2 had superimposed bacterial/viral infections. Other contributors to mortality were cachexia, airway obstruction, disease relapse.
