Code U09.9 should not be assigned for manifestations of an active (current) COVID-19 infection. If a patient has a condition(s)associated with a previous COVID-19 infection and develops a new active(current) COVID-19 infection U09.9 and U07.1, COVID-19, should both be coded to identify that the patient also has a condition(s) associated with a previousCOVID-19 infection.
