Post-COVID-Versorgung braucht Rehabilitation

Fast drei Jahre nach dem Ausbruch der COVID-19-Pandemie zählt die Weltgesundheitsorganisation rund 7 Millionen Tote aufgrund von COVID-19 und knapp 771 Millionen bestätigte Infektionen mit SARS-CoV-2 [1]. Die weltweite Übersterblichkeit in den ersten zwei Jahren der Pandemie wird sogar zwei- bis dreimal höher geschätzt, teilweise bedingt durch überlastete Gesundheitssysteme [2].
