Abstract
COronaVIrus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused tremendous casualties and morbidities worldwide. Multisystem manifestations, including muscle weakness, dyspnea, cognitive decline, dysphagia, and dysarthria are frequently reported among critically ill patients. The resultant activity limitations and participation restrictions call for an organized and multidisciplinary approach to rehabilitation. Taiwan had a rapid surge in community infection cases from May to July 2021, and our team established a team-based approach in response to the rehabilitation needs for the in-patients, especially the critically-ill group.
