The government is working on guidelines to address post-Covid medical complications being reported by an increasing number of people who suffered from moderate-to-severe form of virus and have recovered.
The joint monitoring group (JMG) in the Ministry of Health is looking at anecdotal evidence about Covid-cured patients returning to doctors with conditions including breathlessness, cardiac, lung and renal complications.
Health Ministry OSD Rajesh Bhushan said, "Those who have recovered from Covid are facing various issues like breathlessness, heart problems, kidney complications and ophthalmological issues. The JMG is looking at these problems and working on an advisory to address these."
Member Health, NITI Aayog, VK Paul said, "There are signs of residual disease in some patients who have recovered from Covid-19. The government is working to address this challenge."

Of the 11.9 lakh cases, 7,53,049 have recovered, taking the national cure rate to 63.13 per cent. Active cases as of today are 3,41,916.
