Abstract

BACKGROUND: The global outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been enormously damaging, in which prolonged shedding of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, previously 2019-nCoV) infection is a challenge in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. However, there is still incomplete research on the risk factors that affect delayed shedding of SARS-CoV-2.
