Abstract
The I-MOVE-COVID-19 primary care/outpatient study sites are: England, France, Ireland, the Netherlands, Portugal, Scotland, Spain (three regions), Spain (Navarra region) and Sweden (Table 1). Study sites adapted the I-MOVE-COVID-19 VE study protocol, to their country-specific setting. Sites included all, or a systematic sample of, acute respiratory infection (ARI) patients or patients presenting with common COVID-19 symptoms (at least one of the following symptoms: fever, cough, shortness of breath, sudden onset of anosmia/ageusia) who contacted the sentinel physician (Table 1). The Navarra region included all patients presenting to the health service primary care physicians. A systematic sample of patients in COVID-19 testing centres both with and without physician referral were included in Portugal. Scotland included a systematic sample of patients presenting to community-based COVID-19 centres with self- and clinical staff-based swabbing.
