Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
30 volunteer healthcare workers who had Covid-19 were included to study group. 30 age and gender matched volunteer healthcare workers were included to control group. Healthcare workers who have had Covid-19 disease will be evaluated for the first time within 1 month after their diagnosis with RT-PCR test for SARS-CoV-2.
Symptom questioning will be reported including the initial symptoms of Covid-19 and ongoing complaints of the patients. During the examination, muscle strength will be evaluated by the Medical Research Council (MRC) total score. Resting heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen saturation (by pulse oxymeter) measurement will be applied to both groups before and after the following tests: 1-min sit-to-stand (1MSTS) test, 5 times sit-to-stand (5TSTS) test, 6 minutes walk test (6MWT).
MRC dyspnea scale will be performed as a measure of patient's complaint of shortness of breath,Job performance was assessed by asking "How do you evaluate your job performance?" on 6-point Likert scale, Short Form-12 (Short Form 12, SF-12) will be used to assess quality of life, mood disorder wil be measured by Beck Anxiety Inventory and Beck Depression Inventory, Fatigue severity scale(FSS) will be performed as level of fatigue. The first evaluation wil be made within 1 month after one positive RT-PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 is detected; control evaluations will be made in the 2nd, 4th and 6th months after positivity of RT-PCR test for SARS-CoV-2. Finally, the patient's sex, age, body mass index (BMI), height, education status, career, status of hospitalization, length of hospitalization, comorbidities , pulmonary involvement that diagnosed radiological methods and examination of symptoms related with Covid-19 will be recorded.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Study group (30 volunteer healthcare workers who had Covid-19
30 volunteer healthcare workers who had Covid-19 and stayed in hospital or at home were included.
6 minute walk test
The 6 Minute Walk Test is a sub-maximal exercise test used to assess aerobic capacity and endurance. The distance covered over a time of 6 minutes is used as the outcome by which to compare changes in performance capacity. 30 m long corridor is used for this test .
1 minute Sit to Stand Test
The 1-minute STS test is performed with a chair of standard height of 46 cm without arm rests. The patient should be ensured to be seated upright on the chair positioned against a wall. The patient sat with the knees and hips flexed to 90°, feet placed flat on the floor hip-width apart, and the hands placed on the hips.The number of repetitions is measured.
Fatigue Severity Scale
The Fatigue Severity Scale is a 9-item scale which measures the severity of fatigue and its effect on a person's activities and lifestyle in patients with a variety of disorders
Medical Research Council (MRC) dyspnea scale
The MRC dyspnea scale is a questionnaire that consists of five statements about perceived breathlessness: grade 1, "I only get breathless with strenuous exercise"; grade 2, "I get short of breath when hurrying on the level or up a slight hill"; grade 3, "I walk slower than people of the same age on the level because of breathlessness or have to stop for breath when walking at my own pace on the level"; grade 4, "I stop for breath after walking 100 yards or after a few minutes on the level"; grade 5, " I am too breathless to leave the house".
SF-12
The SF-12 is a self-reported outcome measure assessing the impact of health on an individual's everyday life. It is often used as a quality of life measure.
Beck Depression Inventory
The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) is a 21-item, self-report rating inventory that measures characteristic attitudes and symptoms of depression
Beck Anxiety Inventory
Beck Anxiety Scale is a 21-item, internationally valid, self-report rating inventory that measures the anxiety level.
5 times sit to stand test
The 5XSST scoring is based on the amount of time (to the nearest decimal in seconds) a patient is able to transfer from a seated to a standing position and back to sitting five times. The equipment need in performing 5XSST test includes: Stopwatch and standard height chair with straight back (43-45 cm, 17-18 inches high). Then the instruction is given by asking the test taker to sit on the chair by resting their back. Also, the test taker is instructed to fold their arms across their chest. Then the test taker should be instructed to do sit-to-stand five times, as quickly as possible, at the count of go and without their back or leg resting on the chair between the interval of repetition.
6 point Likert Scale
Job performance was assessed by asking "How do you evaluate your job performance?" on 6-point Likert scale.A 6 point likert scale forces choice and gives better data.The 6 point Likert scale offers options for ''Excellent, very good, good, fair, poor and very poor''. 6 point scale anges from 1(very poor) to 5 (excellent).
Control group (30 volunteer healthcare workers who had not have Covid-19)
In control group, 30 volunteer healthcare workers who were matched for age ande gender with study group were included and these persons had not have Covid-19.
