The patient has been vaccinated for COVID but was found to have a COVID infection on presentation.  The patient was admitted for ongoing monitoring as he was requiring 2 L of oxygen on presentation to maintain saturations.  Patient was started on Decadron and remdesivir.  The following day after admission the patient was reporting feeling significantly better.  He was requiring intermittent oxygen supplementation throughout the day but no more than 2 L of oxygen when he had required.  Patient request to be discharged home.  Based on patient's vaccination status and relative stability overnight, this was felt reasonable as the patient already had oxygen set up at home.  Will continue to treat the patient with a prednisone taper at discharge.  Patient has been instructed to return to the hospital should his hypoxia continued to worsen.  Questions have been answered to the patient's satisfaction he is being discharged home in stable condition.
