The note would be issued to states to share it with the health facilities in their areas for patients getting discharged, the Health Ministry Secretary said at a press briefing. He said the committee of domain knowledge experts, known as joint monitoring group in the Health Ministry, headed by the DGHS, has found instances of lung and heart related problems faced by some patients who have recovered from COVID-19. "The group of domain knowledge experts is presently seized with this issue and working on a guidance note for people who have recovered from COVID-19 and possible complications that may afflict them," he said.

He had earlier said that central government hospitals like Safdarjung, RML, LHMC and six AIIMS other than Delhi AIIMS are doing a consultative exercise as part of which the treating doctors there are informing the DGHS on the kind of complications faced by the recovered patients and based on that information the ministry might come out with guidelines in future.
