Alternatives to conventional hospitalization are needed to increase health systems resilience in the face of COVID-19 pandemic. Herein, we describe the characteristics and outcomes of 63 patients admitted to a single HaH during the peak of COVID-19 in Barcelona. Our results suggest that HaH seems to be a safe and efficacious alternative to conventional hospitalization for accurately selected patients with COVID-19. Keywords COVID-19 • Hospital at home • Alternative medical care facilities • Alternatives to conventional hospitalization Methods ## Patients Consecutive patients with COVID-19 from March 10 to April 5 2020 admitted to the HaH Unit were included. A follow-up period of 30 days after discharge from HaH was completed for all patients. Members of the Hospital Clínic 4H Team are listed in the Appendix.
