After discharge from the hospital, patients were randomly recommended four rehabilitation regimens: Group A - standard rehabilitation, mainly including anticoagulant therapy (n = 47); Group B - where, in addition to standard methods, vitamin preparations were administered (n = 49); Group C - where, in addition to standard methods, mineral preparations were administered (n = 48); Group D - where, in addition to standard methods, vitamins and mineral preparations were administered (n = 51). The quality of life was assessed using the scales of the SF-36 questionnaire.Results. Patients with severe COVID-19 had a lower quality of life on admission and discharge from the hospital than those with moderate disease. Rehabilitation activities within 6 months after an acute coronavirus infection, the quality of life was increased by 10-20%. The most pronounced result was observed in patients of group D, who used trace elements in combination with vitamins.Conclusion.
