Infection with SARS-CoV-2 can affect multiple organ systems with variable severity and is known to frequently have a major impact on the respiratory system. Symptoms may persist for several months after infection, and are associated with a reduction of lung function, diminished exercise capacity and anomalies on chest CT. Guidelines on the post-acute care of patients with SARS-CoV-2 are now available. Pulmonary rehabilitation plays a central role in the recovery of exercise capacity, notably in severe cases. The role of specific therapies, such as corticosteroids, anti-fibrotics and lung transplantation remains uncertain and needs to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
