Study Overview
Brief Summary
The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly transmittable and pathogenic viral infection caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2), which emerged in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and its spread around the world has been rapid (Rathi et al., 2021; Vakili et al., 2021). COVID-19 impacts on economy, society, education , neurological, psychiatric and psychosocial impairments , increasing the burden of disease and disability throughout the world have been studied by several authors (Phillips et al., 2020; Pragholapati, 2020).
COVID-19 may lead to greater risks of long-term scarring, permanently lower economic activity, a significant increase in the prevalence of chronic illness, social distancing, isolation, changes in teaching and learning strategies to decrease of number of days of education, the number of social contacts each day is limited (Minister & Majesty, 2020; Almomani et al., 2021) .
Detailed Description
The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly transmittable and pathogenic viral infection caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2), which emerged in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and its spread around the world has been rapid (Rathi et al., 2021; Vakili et al., 2021). COVID-19 impacts on economy, society, education , neurological, psychiatric and psychosocial impairments , increasing the burden of disease and disability throughout the world have been studied by several authors (Phillips et al., 2020; Pragholapati, 2020).
COVID-19 may lead to greater risks of long-term scarring, permanently lower economic activity, a significant increase in the prevalence of chronic illness, social distancing, isolation, changes in teaching and learning strategies to decrease of number of days of education, the number of social contacts each day is limited (Almomani et al., 2021; Minister & Majesty, 2020) .
Thus, multi-organ injuries are observed in COVID-19, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome, acute myocardial injury, acute kidney injury, and acute liver injury. Survivors of severe COVID-19 are also found to be with multi-organ impairments after discharge (Dennis et al., 2021)
Clinical presentation of COVID- I9 ranges from absence of symptoms to severe pneumonia while fever, dry cough and fatigue, dyspnea, myalgia, arthralgia, distress, anxiety, and depression are common symptoms. The uncommon symptoms include sputum production, headache, hemoptysis, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea among COVID-19 patients (Feng et al., 2020).
Different Phases of COVID-19 defining acute COVID-19 or transition phase: (signs and symptoms of COVID-19 for up to 4 weeks), Acute post COVID symptoms: (signs and symptoms of COVID-19 from 4 to 12 weeks), and long post-COVID-19 syndrome (signs and symptoms that develop during or after an infection consistent with COVID-19, continue for more than 12 weeks up to 24 weeks and are not explained by an alternative diagnosis). persistent post COVID symptoms: symptoms lasting more than 24 weeks (Fernández-de-las-Peñas et al., 2021; Yong, 2021a).
