Around 90.000 patients have been hospitalised due to COVID-19 infection in France between March 1st and June 15th; 19% of those requiring intensive care. Approximately 80% of these patients have been discharged home by September 30th. Nonetheless, COVID-19 infection along with intensive care consequences are very likely to impede those patients quality of life and functional capacities. This study aims to describe the quality of life outcomes and functional capacities of COVID-19 survivors, at least 6 months after primary care hospital discharge.
