Most common symptoms was cough (61.0%) and among these admitted patients the most common comorbidities was hypertension (26.7%), followed by diabetes (20.7%), and COPD (14.0%) respectively. Platelets (< 0.02), post prandial blood sugar (PPBS) (< 0.01) have significant role in survivability of COVID- 19 patients.
