Female and male participants with a minimum age of 18 years will be included. They took part or will take part in a standardized rehabilitation program of the Rehabilitation Clinic Münster due to a confirmed infection with SARS-CoV-2 according to the definition of the Austrian Federal ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection prior to hospitalization. They will be classified into three degrees of severity according to the severity scales by Huang et al., (2021)
Female and male participants will be excluded from analysis if they terminate their rehabilitation stay earlier than three weeks. Former patients will be excluded from follow-up assessments if they cannot be contacted and/or live in nursing or welfare home, if the follow-up would be too difficult due to psychotic disorders, dementia, readmission to hospital, internal diseases (e.g. stroke or pulmonary embolism) or orthopedic diseases, which limit their range of mobility.
