Summary

The aim of the study is to investigate the efficacy of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program to patients with Sars-CoV-2 pneumonia in the post-acute period on pulmonary functions, exercise capacity and anxiety level. 100 patients diagnosed with Sars-CoV-2 pneumonia will be enrolled in this prospective, interventional study according to inclusion/exclusion criteria. Patients will be evaluated and a personalized PR program will be organized before hospital discharge. After discharge, the pulmonary rehabilitation program will continue in telerehabilitation. In the telerehabilitation program, exercises will be supervised by a physiotherapist two days a week, and patients will be asked to do the exercises themselves for the other 3 days. Patients will also receive exercise videos for these 3 days. Patients will be followed for 4 weeks and will be called for final evaluation
