Abstract
COVID-19 is a pathological process first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China in December of 2019. Clinically, it presents with symptoms including but not limited to: fever, dry cough, dyspnea, myalgia, fatigue, and radiographic evidence of pneumonia. It may lead to long-term dysfunctions including: pulmonary, neurological, physical capacity, muscle strength, and psychological/cognitive impairments. Many patients were admitted to inpatient rehabilitation facilities to reduce the risk of further decline and promote return to prior level of functions and safe discharge home.
