The study compares clinical and demographic characteristics of COVID-19 cases in Brunei during the first wave (March-May 2020) and the second wave (August 2021).
Results showed that first wave patients were older and had more comorbidities, while second wave patients were more likely to exhibit symptoms at admission.
These findings suggest shifts in COVID-19 manifestations over time, which can inform changes in management strategies, including isolation policies and treatment protocols.
