Summary

Implementation of a supervised rehabilitation program in patients recovering from COVID-19-infection who suffer from limitations and symptoms due to the disease 6 to 8 weeks from hospital discharge. Patients who have been seriously ill and have been admitted to the ward with high oxygen mixtures or have been admitted to the ICU will be selected primarily. The program includes supervised rehabilitation sessions 2 times a week for 2 months. Patients will be evaluated during recruitment and at the end of the program. Patients who can not attend the program due to logistical/transport issues will be re-evaluated in 2 months and constitute the control population. Investigators hypothesis is that post COVID-19 patients who have persistent symptoms, including fatigue following a supervised rehabilitation program will have fewer symptoms after the end of the program compared to similar patients who do not attend a rehabilitation program.
