Clinical Characteristics of Patients Hospitalized with Coronavirus Disease, Thailand	2020-07-17		.txt	text/plain	1740	117	41	Among 11 patients in Thailand infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, we detected viral RNA in upper respiratory specimens a median of 14 days after illness onset and 9 days after fever resolution. During the study period, Thailand's discharge criteria for hospitalized COV-ID-19 patients required resolution of clinical signs and symptoms and 2 respiratory specimens without detectable SARS-CoV-2 RNA collected >24 hours apart. Clinical resolution occurred a median of 12 (9-13.5 ) days after illness onset, and these patients had detectable SARS-CoV-2 RNA in upper respiratory tract specimens for a median of 14 (9-26) days after illness onset (Table 2) . However, patients became afebrile 6 days after illness onset, with a median of 9 (3-19.75 ) additional days of detectable SARS-CoV-2 RNA in respiratory specimens after resolution of fever ( Table 2 ). Other studies have described asymptomatic patients with upper respiratory specimens positive for SARS-CoV-2 (9), and evidence suggests such cases pose a risk for transmission (10) (11) (12) .	./cache/cord-342681-pqzcy9wu.txt	./txt/cord-342681-pqzcy9wu.txt
