Introduction- The long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection are becoming a signicant burden on society and healthcare systems. Data on post-COVID-19 syndrome in the general population is needed to organise healthcare treatments and resources in a timely manner.(1) In adults hospitalised with severe coronavirus illness, long-term symptom duration and impairment are typical (COVID-19). Understanding the complete spectrum of COVID-19–associated disease and adjusting public health messages, treatments, and policies requires characterising return to baseline health among outpatients with milder COVID-19 illness.(2) Aims and Objectives This study aims to nd incidence and assess progression and burden of long covid among post covid patients.
