Sivan et al. A comprehensive multi-system phone scan of the COVID-19 Yorkshire Rehabilitation Screening Tool (C19-YRS) has been developed by a multidisciplinary rehabilitation team.

This study, which will be carried out using the C19-YRS tool and the 30-second sit-and-go test that evaluates functional capacity and mobility conditions, is expected to contribute to the clinical and literature since most of the studies on COVID-19 focused only on the acute and subacute periods. In addition, considering the pandemic conditions all over the world, it will be possible to benefit from the advantages of the tele-assessment application and by reaching more people, possible clinical problems/needs and whether there is a change functional capacities in individuals after COVID-19 will be identified.
