• The 30-day incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) among SARS-CoV-2-positive individuals was not significantly increased compared to negative individuals in an outpatient setting (1.8 vs 2.2 cases per 1000) and in a post-hospitalization setting (1.0 vs 1.1 case per 1000) in a retrospective cohort study in Northern California (n=220,588) from February to August 2020. A significant increase was observed in hospital-associated VTE between SARS-CoV-2 positive and negative individuals (4.7 vs 1.6 cases per 1,000).
