Abstrakt:	Background: To find different variables involved in the hospitalization of patients referred to the respiratory Emergency Room (ER) at the time of COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A questionnaire was designed to determine different hypothetical factors involved in the hospitalization of 3481 patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results: This study suggests that the following factors/variables are involved in the hospitalization of patients: age, respiratory distress, duration of symptoms, cough, 5-day-prolonged fever, diabetes mellitus, respiratory diseases, renal conditions, history of chemotherapy, saturation of blood oxygen, sore throat, and fever. Conclusion: We found that through having an insight towards what may and may not be involved in the severity of the novel coronavirus infection, one might be able to decide if a patient could potentially benefit from hospitalization.
