Adult patients at post-COVID clinics have a wide range of symptoms and conditions that highlight the medical complexity of these patients and their need for high levels of care, including multiple health care visits and referrals for therapy. This underscores the need for well-coordinated, multidisciplinary care, and planning of health resources for post-COVID-19 follow-up care.
