| *This is intrinsically a code for a viral pathogen officially called "SARS-COV-2". It causes a disease called "COVID-19", that has multiple manifestations, with more likely to be identified over time.
| | This is the [[Pathogen]] code for the "SARS-COV-2" virus. |
| **The main manifestation known as of April 2020 is a viral pneumonia which can evolve into [[ARDS (noncardiogenic pulmonary edema)]]. To code this viral pneumonia, use [[Pneumonia, viral]] with the bug being [[COVID-19 (SARS-COV-2)]].
| |
| **If as may be the case, there is a viral encephalopathy due to this bug, then you'd code it as [[Encephalitis, meningoencephalitis, myelitis, encephalomyelitis, viral]] with the bug being the same.
| |
| *As we do with all infections, we do the best possible to identify the bug. Sometimes we're left without a clear, laboratory identification of the bug and then we use one or another of the "wastebasket codes"
| |
| **For example if the team believes this is likely a virus but doesn't know which one then use [[Virus, NOS]]
| |
| **For example if the team doesn't know what kind of bug it is, but believes it is infectious then use [[Infectious organism, unknown]]

| If the team believes that this is COVID-19 (even without clear cut lab confirmation), then use [[COVID-19 (SARS-COV-2)]] as the organism - of course anybody seeking to do definitive analysis of all COVID-19 cases will need to obtain and use the data on confirmed cases from [[Cadham]].

| Done by Provincial Microbiology Lab

| === Delayed lab results ===
| |
| *Regarding people who either die or are discharged from hospital with their COVID-19 lab test still pending, follow the usual rules i.e: [[Lab_and_culture_reports#How_long_to_wait_for_a_result]] or [[Attribution of infections]]
| |
| **Note that this test is done by [[Cadham]] Lab and not by the usual DSM lab.
