COVID-19 illness has become a serious health issue that is harming healthcare systems around the globe. It is crucial to examine the epidemiological traits of COVID-19. The study aimed to show the demographic data and their associations with the laboratory and clinical data in COVID-19 patients. 46 COVID-19 patients and 20 normal controls were involved in this study. The subjects were submitted to routine laboratory investigations, including CBC, Random glucose level, renal function test, liver profile, CRP, Ferritin, and D dimer. The study indicated no significant difference in the demographic data between COVID-19 patients and healthy controls. Covid-19 subjects' age was positively associated with blood urea and direct bilirubin levels. Increased Covid-19 patients' age was linked to ferritin and D-dimer levels (p = 0.009 and p = 0.012). Covid-19 patients' gender correlated positively with hemoglobin levels. Age was a risk factor for the severity and clinical progression of the illness.
