Highlights • The severity of SARS-CoV-2 patients is difficult to quickly assess in the ED.• The ABG test is a quick and easy tool that can help identify more severe patients.• CT cannot be used on all suspected SARS-CoV-2 infected patients admitted in ED.• The CT volumetry correlates well with the values of severity reported by the ABG test.
