Abstract: The medical research conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted numerous sequelae and readmissions (to hospitals) of patients with moderate and severe forms of COVID-19 and has outlined the need for a post-COVID 19 rehabilitation process developed and conducted in an organized, safe, and accurate manner. This is a new challenge for both the medical rehabilitation community and the economy and also for a large number of patients who need to be in contact with the medical staff more than ever. The aim of this article is to investigate the literature from 2020 to 2021 on the extent of postCOVID sequelae and their management. During this period a lot of research has been done regarding the treatment for this disease and how necessary it is to change the provision of medical services so as to serve the patients who are hospitalized, as well as the patients who need additional medical care at home after being discharged from the intensive care units.
