COVID-19 can cause a variety of longer-lasting symptoms. For example, it can result in psychological problems and/or malfunction of the heart, nervous system and/or lungs leading to rapid exhaustion with exercise, muscle weakness, shortness of breath, dizziness, concentration problems and fatigue.

This means a wide range of different forms of rehabilitation can be helpful depending on how the illness played out in each individual case. They include training for stamina and strength, physiotherapy, breathing physiotherapy and psychotherapy.

Further information about rehabilitation is available from Deutsche Rentenversicherung.
