Doctor of Biological Sciences, professor at the School of Systems Biology at George Mason University (USA) Ancha Baranova spoke about the danger to their health, writes lenta.ru.
According to her, after recovery, some of these patients experience a decrease in lung volume, sometimes by 20-30 percent. “Not at all, but often,” the source said.
Baranova noted that additional observations of these people will be required in order to obtain more accurate data. It is necessary to find out whether already existing chronic diseases will worsen, whether new diseases will appear.
“This cannot be predicted in advance; time needs to pass. But it’s clear that the survivors will need rehabilitation, including pulmonary rehabilitation, ”the biologist added.
We previously reported that scientists identified an early symptom of COVID-19, which few people pay attention to.
