Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Suspected cases who meet the following 2 criteria at the same time:
  • Epidemiological history: There was a history of contact with confirmed cases before the onset of illness; or subjects with at least one symptom in the last week before accrual in the trial. Subjects who have been in contact with people positive for SARS-CoV-2 in the previous 14 days.
  • Clinical manifestations are defined as :
  • Fever \>37.5°; dry cough, muscle pain and/or fatigue, anosmia, subjects with respiratory distress (Respiratory Rate \>25/min or O2 Saturation \<92%) or imaging characteristics of pneumonia; or the total number of white blood cells is normal or decreased with the lymphocyte count decreased in the early stage of onset or there is an abnormal C-Reactive protein. Other symptoms that clinical investigator will relate to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Subject or cancer patients who have been quarantined for suspect symptoms and have access to hospital to continue therapy or to receive major surgery
  • Confirmed cases, namely patients or subjects with positive Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) for SARS-CoV-2. On the basis of meeting the criteria for suspected cases, sputum, throat swabs, lower respiratory tract secretions, and other specimens are tested by realtime RT-PCR for positive nucleic acid detection of new coronavirus; or viral gene sequencing is highly homologous with known new coronaviruses. Patients positive are serially tested with SARS-CoV-2 lgM / IgG Rapid Test to evaluate the immune response in IgG negative patients and the reliability of the test in those patients who develop clinical signs of SARS-CoV-2 during the trial.
  • Patients who are considered at high risk for infection and eligible for active therapy and major surgery
  • Frailty (age and multiple comorbidities) planned to receive a standard systemic anticancer treatment comprising chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy and/or radiation therapy or to receive an experimental treatment
  • Major surgery or surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and or chemo/radiotherapy

Exclusion

  • Ascertained influenza virus, parainfluenza virus, adenovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, rhinovirus, human metapneumovirus, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus, and other known other viral pneumonia;
  • Ascertained mycoplasma pneumoniae, chlamydia pneumonia, and bacterial pneumonia; non-infectious diseases such as vasculitis, dermatomyositis, and organizing pneumonia.
