Multivariate analysis identified close contact with an index case (OR, 3.49; 95%CI, 1.49–8.15; P = 0.004), visiting high-risk places (OR, 1.92; 95%CI, 1.03–3.56; P = 0.039), productive cough (OR, 2.03; 95%CI, 1.05–3.92; P = 0.034), and no medical coverage (OR, 3.91; 95%CI, 1.35–11.32; P = 0.012) as independent risk factors for COVID-19 among the PUIs. The majority had favorable outcomes, though one (1.9%) died from severe pneumonia. Apart from close contact with an infected case and visiting high-risk places, we found that having no medical coverage and presenting with productive cough were predictors of being diagnosed with COVID-19 among PUIs. SARS-CoV-2 is an emerging respiratory virus that commonly causes no or mild respiratory tract infection and is occasionally complicated by severe pneumonia [1] .	./cache/cord-326568-twv2i3fb.txt	./txt/cord-326568-twv2i3fb.txt
