About 254 patietnts with clinically confirmed Novel coronavirus-infected pneumonia (NCIP) were enrolled in order to study the frequency of GI symptoms in COVID-19 patients. Medical and non-medical staff were counted and analysed separately. As evidenced by our case report, this knowledge gap can lead to a delay in diagnosis and will increase the opportunity for viral transmission to other people including healthcare workers.
