About

COVID-19, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, has a devastating effect on human lives, including over 6.6 million death as of November 2022. Furthermore, many individuals continue to experience persisting sequelae after the initial infection. Little is known about the impact of undergoing COVID-19 hospitalisation. Hence, the investigators propose an observational longitudinal study in a cohort of COVID-19 survivors after hospital discharge, to examine their perspectives on their health, health-related quality of life, and persistence of common COVID-19 symptoms, such as fatigue, dyspnoea and anxiety. Potential influencing socio-demographic and biological factors will additionally assessed.
