Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has far-reaching implications for HRQoL into the future. This disease affects many systems of the body, as well as having an impact on the psychological status of those with the condition, their families, and health care workers. Given the breadth of conditions that may result from COVID-19, it is critical that quality of life researchers begin preparing to address the many factors that may impact HRQoL for many people worldwide.

Keywords: COVID-19; Health care avoidance; Health-related quality of life; Long-term complications.
