- Time to First Occurrence of a Composite Endpoint of Symptomatic VTE, MI, Ischemic Stroke, Acute Limb Ischemia, Non-CNS Systemic Embolization, All-cause Hospitalization and All-cause Mortality [ Time Frame: Up to Day 35 ]Time to first occurrence of a composite endpoint of symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE), myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke, acute limb ischemia, noncentral nervous system (non-CNS) systemic embolization, all-cause hospitalization, and all-cause mortality will be assessed.
- Time to First Occurrence of a Composite Endpoint of Symptomatic VTE, MI, Ischemic Stroke, Acute Limb Ischemia, Non-CNS Systemic Embolization, and All-cause Mortality [ Time Frame: Up to Day 35 ]Time to first occurrence of a composite endpoint of symptomatic VTE, MI, ischemic stroke, acute limb ischemia, non-CNS systemic embolization, and all-cause mortality will be assessed.
- Time to First Occurrence of All-cause Hospitalization [ Time Frame: Up to Day 35 ]Time to first occurrence of all-cause hospitalization will be assessed.
- Time to First Occurrence of Symptomatic VTE [ Time Frame: Up to Day 35 ]Time to first occurrence of symptomatic VTE which includes DVT or pulmonary embolism (PE) will be assessed.
- Time to First Occurrence of an Emergency Room (ER) Visit [ Time Frame: Up to Day 35 ]Time to first occurrence of an ER visit will be assessed.
- Time to First Occurrence of Symptomatic VTE, MI, Ischemic Stroke, Acute Limb Ischemia, Non-CNS Systemic Embolization, and All-cause Hospitalization [ Time Frame: Up to Day 35 ]Time to first occurrence of symptomatic VTE, MI, ischemic stroke, acute limb ischemia, non-CNS systemic embolization, and all-cause hospitalization will be assessed.
- Percentage of Participants who are Hospitalized or Dead From Any Cause [ Time Frame: Day 35 ]Percentage of participants who are hospitalized or dead from any cause at Day 35 will be assessed.
- Time to All-cause Mortality up to Day 35 [ Time Frame: Up to Day 35 ]Time to all-cause mortality up to Day 35 will be assessed.
- Time to First Occurrence of International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis (ISTH) Critical Site and Fatal Bleeding [ Time Frame: Up to 37 Days (last dose on Day 35 plus 2 Days) ]Time to first occurrence of ISTH critical site and fatal bleeding will be assessed.
- Time to First Occurrence of ISTH Major Bleeding Events [ Time Frame: Up to 37 Days (last dose on Day 35 plus 2 Days) ]Time to first occurrence of ISTH major bleeding will be assessed. Major bleeding is defined as clinically overt bleeding that is associated with a reduction in hemoglobin of 2 gram per deciliter (g/dL) or more, or a transfusion of 2 or more units of packed red blood cells or whole blood, or occurrence at a critical site defined as intracranial, intra-spinal, intraocular, pericardial, intra-articular, intra-muscular with compartment syndrome, retroperitoneal, or fatal outcome.
- Time to First Occurrence of Clinically Relevant Non-major Bleeding [ Time Frame: Up to 37 Days (last dose on Day 35 plus 2 Days) ]Time to first occurrence of clinically relevant non-major bleeding will be assessed. Clinically relevant non-major bleeding is defined as overt bleeding not meeting the criteria for major bleeding but associated with medical intervention, or unscheduled contact with a physician, or temporary cessation of study treatment, or discomfort such as pain, or impairment of activities of daily life.

- Confirm that participant is known to health system, with at least 1 contact in electronic medical records (EMR) prior to screening
- Symptoms attributable to COVID-19 (example, fever, cough, loss of taste or smell, muscle aches, shortness of breath, fatigue)
- Initial treatment plan does not include hospitalization
- Presence of at least 1 additional risk factor: a) age more than or equal to (>=) 60 years; b) prior history of VTE; c) history of thrombophilia; d) history of coronary artery disease (CAD); e) history of peripheral artery disease (PAD); f) history of cerebrovascular disease or ischemic stroke; g) history of cancer (other than basal cell carcinoma) h) history of diabetes requiring medication; i) history of heart failure; j) body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to (>=) 35 kilogram per meter square (kg/m^2); k) D-dimer greater than (>) upper limit of normal for local laboratory (within 2 weeks of the date of the COVID-19 test and prior to randomization)
Exclusion Criteria:
