Journal ArticleDOI
Co-infections in people with COVID-19: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
TL;DR: A low proportion of COVID-19 patients have a bacterial co-infection; less than in previous influenza pandemics; and these findings do not support the routine use of antibiotics in the management of confirmed CO VID-19 infection.
