===Special Circumstances===

When Reviewing a chart in MR and you find a COVID positive or COVID suspect patient that occurred BEFORE the new COVID positive/suspect wards were opened, use [[Service Location]] home ward location and use the appropriate [[COVID-19 (SARS-COV-2)]] or [[Observation for suspected infection NOS]] code.

When reviewing a chart in MR and you find a COVID suspect patient on your home ward and the patient is transferred to another location where the diagnosis of COVID positive is made, check the date/time the swab was sent. If it was sent less than 48 hours after admission code this as an [[Admit Diagnosis]], if the swab was sent greater than 48 hours after admission code this as an [[Acquired Diagnosis]]
