Why Do Patients Return To Hospital Even After Testing COVID Negative? Find Out

New Delhi: The ordeal of COVID-19 patients does not end at testing negative as is clear from Home Minister Amit Shah’s example. Medanta Hospital, where he was declared negative for COVID-19, said he has been “complaining of fatigue and body ache for last three-four days,” reported NDTV.

There are many other patients like him. This is the reason why Delhi-based Rajiv Gandhi Super Specialty Hospital will start a post-COVID clinic from Wednesday to provide support to patients who have recovered from the virus, the report added.

Dr. BL Sherwal, Medical Director of the hospital told NDTV, “There are different types of complaints. Some patients are saying that they have cough or are feeling fatigue and facing low saturation levels. These patients are of varying age groups and both males and females have such complaints.”

NDTV quoted Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal as saying there have been instances where some patients lost their lives because their oxygen levels dropped, even after testing negative and going home fully recovered.

The government has now planned to send oxygen concentrators to the homes of coronavirus patients even after their recovery, the report added.

In Mumbai, up to 40 percent patients are returning with Lung Fibrosis, a disease that has symptoms like breathlessness and dry cough, reported NDTV.
