Summary

The goal of this study pilot randomized controlled study is to evaluate the feasibility of the study procedures and to compare the preliminary efficacy of a rehabilitation program given in a "remote" (telerehabilitation) or "face-to-face" model for adult patients who had confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection and still have symptoms after eight weeks of infection. The main question it aims to answer is: * Are the study procedures feasible? * Will the two groups have similar results for the preliminary efficacy outcomes? Researchers will compare group telerehabilitation to a face-to-face group to see if it's comparable. Participants will: * Take part in a 60-minute training session, 3 times a week in person or remotely * Visit the clinic before starting the training program and after 8 weeks of training * Keep a diary of their symptoms, if any
