"All the discharged patients are under medical control. No disability cases following coronavirus infection have been recorded," reads the statement.
In severe cases of coronavirus there is a risk of developing pulmonary fibrosis, which can lead to deterioration in the patient's quality of life.
“Coronavirus often affects the lungs to varying degrees: from asymptomatic to severe pneumonia. Some patients may develop severe lung damage, requiring invasive and non-invasive ventilation. In most cases, changes in lung tissue are completely restored without any consequences. In more severe cases, there is a risk of developing pulmonary fibrosis, which can lead to shortness of breath, decreased physical activity and result in deterioration in the quality of life in the future," she said.
