Among 275 patients with COVID-19, we found that median blood zinc level was significantly lower in patients with poor clinical outcome (N=75) as compared to patients with good clinical outcome (N=200) (840 μg/L versus 970 μg/L; p <0.0001), suggesting that zinc supplementation could be useful for patients with severe COVID-19.
