Suggested follow-up care for COVID-19 survivors HRCT=high-resolution CT. SARS-CoV-2= severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. *Nasal swab testing during the 3–5 days before visit is to make sure that the survivors are not shedding the virus particles and thus ascertain the status of infectivity at baseline and during follow-up visits. The intended in-person baseline and follow-up visits could then be converted to telemedicine visits if found to be positive for SARS-CoV-2, on a case-by-case basis, or appropriate precautionary measures could be taken with personal protective equipment by health-care workers. †Quality of life assessment via patient reported outcomes with standard questionnaires used for respiratory diseases, fatigue, anxiety, and depression.
