Results: Amongst the 428 patients 15% of them had post COVID symptoms and fatigue and cough were predominantly seen. Conclusion: All subjects recovered from COVID-19 should undergo long-term monitoring for evaluation and treatment of symptoms and conditions that might be precipitated with the new coronavirus infection.
