Blood clotting in Covid

2020-12-02 13:33:36
Hi, When can a Covid positive patient experience blood clotting. Is it in the beginning of the infection or after the patient has recovered? Do we have a time frame for it like if the person hasn't experienced blood clotting symptoms in the 14 days of the infection, then he/she won't experience any blood clotting symptoms at all. Also what are the first signs of a blood clot??
