If someone is infected with the coronavirus, they may experience some residual symptoms and complications even after they have recovered. The effects of the virus can also negatively impact any chronic underlying diseases, as well as your general sense of well-being. For keen amateur athletes, the question of when to begin doing sports again and with what intensity is also an important issue. In light of the above, attending a post-coronavirus assessment is highly recommended. The RMC medical team is available to provide these examinations for our patients.
