The health of the first by coronavirus people discharged from Jinintan’s hospital in Uhana from January to May 2020, was already evaluated six months after discharge. Now researchers rated their health a year after they transferred coronavirus.
Most of the symptoms of COVID-19 have passed, but 49 percent of 1276 patients whose average age was 57 years old, at least one of them was still experienced. In almost a third of people – 26 percent – the difficulty of breathing persisted. This was especially characteristic of people with the most severe course of coronavirus – among them the proportion of such people was 39 percent. The second prevalence of the symptom was muscular weakness – it was tested 20 percent of the research participants. At the same time, women experienced her 1.4 times more often than men. In addition, they have twice as often registered an alarming disorder or depression and three times – diffusion failure of the lungs.
