The large number of COVID-19 patients is rendering health care systems in many countries overwhelmed. Hence, a trusted automated technique for identifying and quantifying the infected lung regions would be quite advantageous. As many studies revealed that High resolution computed tomography HRCT scan one of the best imaging technique to evaluate the lung condition for proper diagnosis and treatment. Objective: The goal of this study was to investigate high resolution computed tomography findings among covid 19 patients for early detection of disease among symptomatic patients to reduce the risk of worsening of condition. Methodology: 118 participants were recruited from Gondal Medical Complex, Gujranwala. The data was collected through history forms and HRCT reports and the data was evaluated through mean and percentages%. Results: In this survey male participants were 63% and female participants were 55%. 14% of the participants were between the age ranges of less than 30 year, 49% of the participants were between age range of 30 to 45 years. HRCT findings revealed regarding Ground glass opacities, 53% of the participants were having GGO, and remaining 46% participants do not have history of GGO. 41% of the participants were having consolidation whereas remaining 58.9% participants do not have consolidation, 33% of the participants were having cavitation abscess, and 66% participants do not have cavitation abscess, 22% of the participants were having Nodules and remaining 77% participants do not have nodules. 13.6% of the participants were having mass and 77% participants do not have mass. Conclusion: The standard ground glass opacities and many other CT characteristics in the patients with the COVID-19 infection generally demonstrated important similarities ....
