Do you need to spend the "new crown month" after you have tested positive? Doctors respond: Not true! But you need to do this to recover

Recently, a message was posted on social media platforms saying: "Ningbo First Hospital kindly reminds you that COVID-19 is not a common cold, and that every infected person needs to rest for a month, just like a confinement period... " In response, Ningbo Daily refuted the rumor, saying that Zhejiang Ningbo First Hospital had not released any relevant information and the information was untrue.

How should we care for the recovery period of COVID-19 infection? Hu Yang, deputy chief physician of the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine at Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, told reporters that the recovery period of COVID-19 varies from person to person. It is true that more rest is needed during the recovery period, but it does not have to be like "confinement after childbirth".

Hu Yang said that it is important to avoid bathing, washing hair, and being exposed to wind and cold when the disease is serious. If the symptoms have eased, you can bathe and wash your hair normally. When to resume strenuous exercise depends on your own situation. If there is no lung infection, chest tightness and shortness of breath, and the oxygen saturation is not low, it is more appropriate to gradually increase the amount of exercise or return to work.

"The recovery period cannot be generalized. Some patients are asymptomatic, while others have mild symptoms and can recover after a few days of rest. Severely ill patients may need a longer recovery period." Hu Yang told reporters that fatigue and lack of energy are common during the recovery period of an illness . Try to reduce staying up late and pay more attention to rest, and your condition will improve. There is no need to worry too much.
