Sample size calculated was 423 with simple random sampling. Findings: In our study of these 421 COVID-19 cases, median age was 36 year (Interquartile Range: 26-55 years). Post-COVID manifestation (at least one symptom) significantly associated with age of subjects (p = 0.001), subjects who were in ICU during COVID-19 positive (p = 0.003), symptomatic subjects (p = 0.009) during COVID positive and SPO2 level at the time of admission during COVID positive (p = 0.01).
