Abstract

The novel Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an illness caused due to Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV- 2).[1] The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared this outbreak a global health emergency and as on April24, 2020, it has spread to 213 countries. In this situation, it is imperative to understand the possible outcome of COVID-19 recovered patients and determine if they have any other detrimental illnesses by longitudinal analysis to safeguard their life in future. By knowing the possible complications of it after-effect from the recovered patients will be helpful to ascertain the future disease complications and will provide more information for the development of vaccines and drugs for these kinds of pandemics in the future. Hence this review emphasizes to focus the research on various multi-organ damages which could occur due to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Further, we suggest to monitor the possible complications faced by the COVID-19 recovered patients and follow-up these recovered patients and performs comprehensive assessments for detection and appropriate management towards their psychological, physical, and social realm. This urges us to suggest that it is highly important to provide counselling, moral support as well as a few recommended guidelines to the recovered patients and society to restore to normalcy. Epidemiological, clinical and immunological studies from COVID-19 recovered patients are particularly important to understand the disease and to prepare better for potential outbreaks in the future. Longitudinal studies on a larger cohort would help us to understand the in-depth prognosis aswellas the pathogenesis of COVID-19. Also, follow-up studies will help us provide more information for the development of vaccines and drugs for these kinds of pandemics in the future. The COVID-19 symptoms range from various organs dysfunction such as the lungs, heart, eyes, brain and GI tract. Although the SARSCoV-2 infected persons do get recovered from the preliminary effects, there might be some aftermaths which the recovered patients may have to face. Many recovered patients still might have paranoid feelings about the COVID-19 disease. Therefore, through this review, we provide a few recommendations to safeguard the COVID-19 recovered patients as well as their families from the repercussion of this disease. Clinicians and researchers have focused on the acute phase of COVID-19, but continued monitoring after discharge for long lasting effects is needed.
