The Infectious Diseases and Beleghata General Hospital, which has treated close to 2,000 Covid-19 patients, has started a survey on how they are.

Each person will be called up and asked how she or he has been doing and whether there are any post-Covid complications.

The respondents will be asked whether they are suffering from breathing problems, heaviness in the chest and continuous palpitation, a doctor of the hospital said.

“The respondents will also be asked whether they are suffering from joint pain, general sense of exhaustion and fluctuating levels of blood sugar and blood pressure. The survey will cover all organs. We will also try to ascertain the psychological well-being of the persons,” the doctor said.

The first call, as part of the survey, was made on Wednesday to a person who was admitted to the Beleghata hospital on this day a year ago.

“The doctors who have been treating Covid patients will be making the calls and noting down the responses in a format,” an official of the hospital said.

Senior doctors of the hospital said that after collating the responses, they would try to find out how the coronavirus has affected the various organs at various stages of the infection.
