This study by the Faculty of Medicine, Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa University assessed the sequelae of adult patients who confirmed positive for COVID-19 infection based on PCR examination, who had undergone self-isolation or hospitalization and had been declared recovered for more than 3 months. These sequelae are persistent symptoms that develop during or following a confirmed case of COVID-19 and that continue for >28 days. The patients were retrospectively included in this study.

Informed consent was signed by the patients, and this study was approved by the ethics committee of Bhayangkara Brimob Hospital. This study follows the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) reporting guideline. The sequelae of COVID-19 were those reported since the patient was declared negative by a PCR swab and had completed self-isolation or hospitalization for 10 days plus 3 days at the hospital, as recommended by the World Health Organization and the local Ministry of Health. The data collected were selfreported symptoms that appeared from when the patient was declared recovered from COVID-19 until 90 days later. The data were obtained from various cities in Indonesia.

A total of 214 patients who had been declared recovered from COVID-19 were contacted between January and March 2021 to complete a single electronic questionnaire between 1 and 3 months after being declared recovered. Thirteen participants who did not complete the questionnaire were not included in the analysis. We performed only descriptive analysis due to the small number of participants. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 23.

A total of 201 participants took part from Indonesia and were of Asian
