Viral arthralgia a new manifestation of COVID-19 infection? A cohort study of COVID-19-associated musculoskeletal symptoms

Singapore was one of the first countries to report its index case of COVID-19 on 23 January 2020 (Chotirmall et al., 2020). Since then, it has been one of the most successful in limiting community spread by extensive testing, meticulous contact tracing, active screening of at-risk groups, pre-emptive hospitalisation and mandatory mask-wearing (Chotirmall et al., 2020). As a result, hospitals have remained well-equipped and mortality rates from COVID-19 remains one of the lowest globally (Worldometers, 2020).
