New research reveals that people with moderate Covid-19 are more likely to
have venous thromboembolism, or blood clots, which start in patients’ veins
and move to the heart, lungs, and other parts of the body. According to the
study, which was written up in the British Medical Journal, people with
mild Covid, which was defined as those who were not hospitalized, had a 2.7
times higher risk of blood clots and a more than 10-fold higher mortality
rate than those who did not have the viral respiratory disease.
