The novel coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2 is a respiratory virus that presents with symptoms such as a non-productive cough (60–80%), fever (90%) and shortness of breath (19–40%) and is responsible for the 2019–2020 global coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Although most patients experience mild or no symptoms, severe disease is associated with thromboembolic complications and respiratory failure. There is an observed rise in the clinical manifestations of the disease 7 to 14 days after initial symptom onset and also associated with thrombotic complications. Understanding the thrombotic manifestations of the virus is important for patient management.
