Abstract

Introduction: Coronavirus is arguably the most significant pandemic in recent human history that changed the way healthcare providers understand respiratory diseases. The presented study focused on exploring the effectiveness of the strategies integrated by Saudi Healthcare professionals in mitigating and controlling the disease. Methodology: The research integrated a retrospective case series study of the King Salman Specialist Hospital. The inquiry evaluated all patients admitted to the facility for COVID-19 symptoms. The research integrated a consecutive non-random sampling in selecting the participants. Results: A total of 1,213 patients were selected for the study with an average age of 46 years. Fever, fatigue, and coughs were the main symptoms (68%), and 830 of the patients had severe symptoms. Further, 64% of the patients were male and 36.6% female. High prevalence in males was associated with old age. Conclusion: Controlling COVID-19 has been challenging, and monitoring the effectiveness of interventions helps determine the progression of the pandemic towards its eradication.
