【 摘 要 】

During the course of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, there has been a drive for ambulatory medical teams to develop‘virtual COVID-19 wards’ to enable safe care at home for people withCOVID-19 and support prioritization of hospital beds for those mostin need; and this form of care is likely to continue to expand. Althoughhospitalized patients with COVID-19 have high rates of venousthromboembolism (VTE) [1], the VTE rate for ambulatory patientsis not known, and COVID-19 guidelines either do not address VTEprevention in this setting or give conflicting recommendations.
