CONCLUSIONS: In this large cohort of hypoxemic patients with COVID-19, initiation of HFNO outside the ICU was safe, and clinical outcomes were similar to initiation in the ICU. Furthermore, the initiation of HFNO on wards saved time in ICU without

T cell-mediated immunity is crucial for protection against severe COVID-19. The performance of SARS-CoV-2-specific IFN-γ release assays (IGRAs) to measure T cell responses during severe acute infection is unknown. We conducted a prospective
