Description
Summary:[Display omitted] •Thrombotic complications were previously recognized in critically ill COVID-19 patients in acute-phase.•We report thrombotic-events in asymptomatic/mild COVID-19 patients in home-based care & moderate/severe COVID-19 patients after discharge despite thromboprophylaxis during in-patient care.•Remarkably, thrombotic-events were delayed and occurred 30-76 days after diagnosis of COVID-19.•The estimated risk of post-discharge thrombosis of 1.8% per 100 patient-years as such doesn’t warrant post-discharge thromboprophylaxis.•Physicians should remain vigilant and observe patients for thrombotic-events during post-acute phase, irrespective of severity of COVID-19 and absence of risk-factors.
