Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to learn about:
- effects of living with COVID-19 and
- how effective is nirmatrelvir-ritonavir in treating COVID-19. This is a study of two groups of COVID-19 patients in Taiwan. In Group 1 the below participants were included in the study:
- Patients of all ages.
- Patients who were confirmed to have COVID-19 infection between 01 January 2021 and 31 December 2021.
- Cases of patients registered in the databases. In Group 2 the below participants were included in the study:
- Participants who are 12 years or older.
- Confirmed to have COVID-19 between 01 January 2022 and 31 December 2022. Nirmatrelvir-ritonavir is taken by mouth and is used to treat COVID-19. The study will look at:
- the nature of Covid-19 disease.
- as well as the experiences of people receiving the nirmatrelvir-ritonavir. This study will help to:
