Lay summary
Little is known about how patients with COVID-19 present to ambulance services or their outcomes. Between 1st March and 31st August 2020 we investigated individuals who called the Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS) with COVID-19 symptoms and those that were later tested COVID-19 positive. We analysed i) their demographic and clinical characteristics; ii) their disposal; and iii) their admission and mortality outcomes.
