Yes: SARS CoV-2 can cause extensive intravascular thrombosis due cytokine storm and damage to the lining of blood vessels. In patients with COVID-19 hospitalized in a large New York City health system, a thrombotic event occurred in 16.0%. D-dimer level at presentation was independently associated with thrombotic events, consistent with an early coagulopathy.
