Characterization of Prolonged COVID-19 Symptoms in an Outpatient Telemedicine Clinic
Michele Cellai, James B. O’Keefe
Abstract
We identified patients with coronavirus disease 2019 in a telemedicine clinic who requested ongoing follow-up calls 6 weeks after symptom onset. In this group, respiratory symptoms are the most common complaints, asthma and lung disease are frequent comorbidities, and patients often have not returned to work or usual activity.
