Records of patients were obtained from the medical records department. Data were collected by using a prevalidated close-ended questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of information regarding the socio-demographic status, history of persistent symptoms, and functional status of patients. Patients were contacted and interviewed telephonically. History regarding common persistent symptoms and functional status was asked. Statistical analysis was done by using Epi info statistical software.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Out of 133 patients, persistent symptoms after discharge were reported among 92 (69%) patients. The common symptoms reported by the patients were fatigue (48.12%), weakness (42.10%), dyspnea (27.82%), and myalgia (12%). Loss of taste was reported by 10 (7.5%) and loss of appetite by 8 (6.01%).
