Abstract

Graphical abstract: Unlabelled Image Highlights: An association between COVID-19 and venous thromboembolism (VTE) is now recognized. The prevalence of VTE is high in COVID-19 patients hospitalized in standard care units. The prevalence of VTE is high even though thromboprophylaxis and in patients estimated at low risk. A high index of suspicion for VTE is crucial in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection.
