Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Cardiopulmonary function	using Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET)	at day 28 and 90 after positive in COVID-19 testing
Primary	Patient's quality of life	using the The World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF-THAI) 26 items; the final score ranges from 24-120; higher score means participants satisfied with the quality of life.	at day 3 and 21 after positive in COVID-19 testing
Primary	Functional capacity	using Duke Activity status index The final score ranges between zero and 58.2 points; The higher the score, the better the functional capacity.	at day 3 and 21 after positive in COVID-19 testing
Primary	Anxiety and depression	using Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) The total score is the sum of the 14 items, and for each subscale the score is the sum of the respective seven items (ranging from 0-21). A total subscale score of >8 points out of a possible 21 denotes considerable symptoms of anxiety or depression.	at day 3 and 21 after positive in COVID-19 testing
Primary	Insomnia	using Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) The final score ranges between zero and 28 points. The total score is interpreted as follows: absence of insomnia (0-7); sub-threshold insomnia (8-14); moderate insomnia (15-21); and severe insomnia (22-28).	at day 3 and 21 after positive in COVID-19 testing
Primary	Cognitive function	using Thai Mental State Examination The final score ranges between zero and 30 points. A score of 25 or higher is classed as normal. If the score is below 24, the result is usually considered to be abnormal, indicating possible cognitive impairment.	at day 3 and 21 after positive in COVID-19 testing
Primary	Muscle strength	using 1-minute sit to stand	at day 3 and 21 after positive in COVID-19 testing
