**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]]

==== Lab results in Oculys? ====
{{Discuss |
* There are rumors that work is under way to get the COVID status into an Occulys report. Has any collector heard anything about this? Do you have access to Occulys? Getting access to this would be useful since collectors are not accessing the ward during the pandemic. Ttenbergen 11:31, 2020 April 16 (CDT)}}
 
==== Presumed infections ====
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]].
