The new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus causing the disease called COVID-19 was first identified in Wuhan (China) in November 2019. The laboratory, as in other clinical scenarios, plays an essential role beyond the etiological diagnosis and the disease in order to define the prognosis and follow-up, as well as to help monitoring its treatment. Data concerning clinical and laboratory diagnosis of COVID-19 disease in the adult population are insufficient to understand its evolution towards severe and critical cases without comorbidities, that is why this study aims to describe the laboratory tests in patients treated in the emergency room at "Arnaldo Milián Castro" Clinical and Surgical University Hospital with the diagnosis of COVID-19, with the purpose of having a tool that timely diagnoses a serious complication and to be able to monitor patient treatment.

Keywords : biomarkers; disease; COVID-19; outpatients.
