Abstract
Abstract To assess the prevalence of persistent functional impairment after coronavirus disease (COVID-19), we assessed 118 individuals 3–4 months after their initial COVID-19 diagnosis with a symptom survey, work productivity and activity index questionnaire, and 6-minute walk test. We found significant persistent symptoms and functional impairment, even in non-hospitalized patients with COVID-19.
