This outpatient clinic is devoted to patients requiring evaluation for severe hypothyroidism, thyrotoxicosis and neck discomfort or pain. All patients with a newly-diagnosed subacute thyroiditis were selected.

All of the remaining patients were and remain COVID-19 free as confirmed by telephone interview.
