Abstract
Introduction: News published about persistence or reappearance of symptoms in Covid 19 is worrisome. However, only one study from Italy is observed in this reference.
 Aim: the current study is conducted to study persistence or reappearance of especially respiratory symptoms amongst COVID 19 hypoxia patients.
 Study Design: Post-discharge follow-up, observational study with the telephonic interview of Covid 19 hypoxia patients from a dedicated Covid 19 hospital in India.
 Methods: Sixty-two patients were interviewed 1 – 3 months post-discharge to elicit history on persistence or reappearance of respiratory symptoms.
 Results: out of the results many patients doesnot show any symptoms compared to female, male are more prone to respiratory problems. Thus, the oxygen therapy showed proof that males are more prone to illness and depict the symptoms compared to females.
 Conclusion: A large multi-centric year-long study is recommended to further conclude on the natural history of the disease.

Summary
News published about persistence or reappearance of symptoms in Covid 19 is worrisome. Study Design: Post-discharge follow-up, observational study with the telephonic interview of Covid 19 hypoxia patients from a dedicated Covid 19 hospital in India.
