The proportion of patients with COVID-19-related disability will be rapidly growing, and a prompt response from physical medicine and rehabilitation (PMR) specialists is crucial to reduce disability and help re-establish and optimize the function of the acute hospital setting. The most common forms are 1) mild: no dyspnea, no low blood oxygen saturation (SatO2); 2) moderate: dyspnea, SatO2 94% to 98%, radiological signs of pneumonia; 3) severe: dyspnea, SatO2 ≤ 93%, respiratory rate (RR) >30/min, radiological progression of lesions, with O2 supplementation required, eventually with non-invasive ventilation; and 4) critical: patients need mechanical ventilation.	./cache/cord-290947-5ewpvo4j.txt	./txt/cord-290947-5ewpvo4j.txt
