Medical events in SARS-Cov-2 infected psychiatric inpatients with and without pre-existing co-morbid medical conditions.

SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection can be associated with significant medical complications. This risk could be even higher in psychiatric patients due to an increased risk of medical co-morbidity. In addition, psychiatric patients are also vulnerable to acquiring SARS-CoV2 infection due to homelessness, living in crowded areas, and poor adherence to recommended preventive measures.
