Hubei opens first rehab clinic for COVID-19 patients

Central China's Hubei province, center of the novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak, opened its first rehabilitation facility for patients who've recovered from the disease at the Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine on Thursday.

The facility is necessary as COVID-19 patients, especially severe cases, may have symptoms like fatigue, aching and lack of appetite after being discharged from the hospital, and need time for their pulmonary functions to recover.
