    • Can the characteristics of pneumonia in adults admitted to hospital help inform virtual assessments?
    • Are there validated tools that can rule out community-acquired pneumonia without the need for imaging?
    • Can validated pneumonia severity ratings be used to identify adults with COVID-19 at low risk for mortality, such that even if pneumonia is missed, there is a low risk of death?
    • Are there any tools specific to COVID-19 for predicting disease severity or the need for admission?
