Introduction: The COVID-19 is an upper respiratory tract infection caused by the SARS-COV-19 virus. As of 2022, 504M cases have been reported globally with a substantial death toll of 6.2M. Although the conventional symptoms remain the same at the time of onset, the post-recovery symptoms vary. The cause of these divers symptoms and their trigger is still under research. We have conducted this research in order to find out the post-infection sequelae among patients. Objectives: 1) To identify the post-COVID-19 manifestations; 2) To address the stigma associated with COVID-19 infection. 3) To determine the different environmental and social aspects of COVID-19 infection; 4) To find the effects of COVID-19 infection on overall quality of life. Methodology: A descriptive study was conducted among 50 COVID-19 recovered patients in Mardan Medical complex. Data was collected from pathology laboratory, Mardan Medical complex. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 24.0 and was presented in the form of frequencies and percentages.
