Abstract Background: It has been evident that after viral infections (e.g., SARS-1), patients often sustain functional limitations over a long period after discharge from the hospital. Persisting symptoms with subsequent progression to poor functional status have been reported in a substantial proportion of these patients. These patients are susceptible to developing reduced functional status that impact their ability to care for themselves and to perform usual activities of daily living in the months following hospital admission. Previous severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreaks showed to affect the survivors lung function, exercise capacity, health-related quality of life (HrQoL), mental health, and lead to increased symptoms of fatigue and dyspnea from 6 months to 2 years after symptom onset. This study aims to assess those recovering from COVID-19 for symptoms of functional limitation and its impact on quality of life, thus identifying a group worthy of further study and early intervention.

Objective: To determine the impact of functional limitation on quality of life among COVID– 19 survivors
Methods
87 patients exposed with covid-19 virus was followed up and assessed for functional limitation and quality of life. Participants were asked on a telephone to choose an appropriate option for each question in relation to current situation from the functional status scale and WHOQOL-BREF among COVID 19 survivors.

Result: Karl Pearson correlation coefficient was used to determine the impact of functional limitation on quality of life among COVID19 survivors. Impact of functional limitation on four domains of quality of life was statistically significant at p<0.001. There was significantly strong negative correlation found between functional status scale and domain1 (r=-0.823) and functional status scale and domain 3 (r=-0.902) whereas there was significantly moderate negative correlation between functional status scale and domain 2 (r=0.584), functional status scale and domain 4 (r=-0.416).
Conclusion: Present study concludes that there is a profound functional limitation after 6 months of post COVID. Hence the functional limitation and its associated symptoms need to be monitored and early intervention needs to be planned in post COVID19 patients.
