Moreover, the patients with re-positive nucleic acid results were not significantly correlated with their length of hospital stay and the presence of clinical symptoms after discharge as well as CT findings. It is recommended to detect feces or other specimens in discharged patients, and to strengthen the regular monitoring and follow-up of discharged patients.
