Daily respiratory infection patients flow during the epidemic wave in the Region of Murcia. Although patient recruitment began when the pcHRRS started on March 26, we show the number of patients seen in the emergency department (group 3) since March 20, so that the impact of the pcHRRS by decreasing the number of group 3 patients can be appreciated. (a) All primary care high-resolution radiology service (pcHRRS) patients (green line); (b) pcHRRS discharged patients (group 1, red line); (c) pcHRRS patients referred to the emergency department (ED) (group 2, yellow line); (d) patients arriving to the ED by themselves (group 3, blue line). Grey bands correspond to weekends and holidays. Patients seen within the pcHRRS (green line) exceeded the number of patients arriving to the ED (blue line) in the study window, except for holidays, when, despite being operational, patients were less referred to pcHRRS. Most patients seen at the pcHRRS went back home (red line)
