description A large number of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) recovered patients are suffering from related symptoms. We conducted telephone interviews with 186 COVID-19 recovered medical doctors to determine the post-COVID symptoms, duration, and associated risk factors. About 70% of participants had at least one acute post-COVID symptom, including fatigue (43.0%), sleep disturbance (13.4%), lack of concentration (11.8%), breathing difficulty (10.2%), headache (6.5%), and muscle pain (6.5%). However, about 24% of participants reported having long post-COVID symptoms. Logistic regression analysis showed that female sex (odds ratio {OR}, 2.79; 95% CI, 1.28-6.06; p-value: 0.010) and comorbid conditions (OR, 2.28; 95% CI, 1.08-4.79; p: value, 0.030) are risk factors for the long post-COVID symptoms.
