Clinical Staging of Syndrome Associated With

COVID-19

This is how we have been classifying it in Malaysia. For example, category 1 which is
asymptomatic down to category 5 that is critically ill multi-organ involvement. Many

of the things that I will talk about are related to these clinical categories. You can
group category 1 to 3 as mild because they are the ones who do not require oxygen at
all while category 4 and 5 are the ones that require supplemental oxygen or

ventilation. That's how we divide our clinical categories.
