In a recent characterization of the cytokine response in COVID-19 patients hospitalized in Ireland, who were stable and who required ICU admission 1 week after the onset of symptoms (20 patients per group), IL-10 was also equally elevated in both groups, while IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and soluble TNF receptor 1 were all more strongly elevated in the ICU than in the stable group (71). This evidence concerns the gene IL10 and COVID-19.
