Many people who have suffered from the effects of this disease might now be at risk of long-term impairment and disability. The extent of this impairment and disability is yet unknown, but it is clear from early research that these patients will be in need of rehabilitation in all phases of the disease - acute, post-acute and long-term. Rehabilitation is defined as "a set of interventions designed to reduce disability and optimize functioning in individuals with health conditions in interaction with their environment." Rehabilitation might very well be a key strategy to reduce the impact of COVID-19 on the health and function of people. A team work is needed to implement this programs which are essential in all phases to facilitate early discharge, but even more to support and empower patients.
