Based on the information widely shared in the news and social media, the COVID-19 virus infection impairs the ability of the infected individuals to breath (and oxygenate the blood). This impairment in individuals leads to hospitalization (to breathe through a ventilator). To regain the ability to breath independent of a ventilator in due course is a desired outcome. Of interest, recent reports suggest that the virus could also affect other organ systems and tissues, including the heart and kidneys. The involvement of heart could lead to heart arrhythmias and involvement of kidneys could lead to renal failure. There is also possibility of blood clots. Therefore, more information about COVID-19 virus associated pathologies is needed to manage the risk after an infection with the virus. At present, testing for the viral genome and antibodies against the virus is not widely available in most places. Therefore, the best course of action is to avoid an infection by the virus by taking all precautions and closely following the recommendations by experts in the field.
