Document: To the Editor The COVID-19 pandemic has been consistently on the rise across the globe. The recovered patients getting long-term sequelae, especially lung fibrosis and residual neurological deficits, is an area of concern.

It has been recently documented from Hong Kong and puts an unpleasant question mark on long term immunity, sampling technique standardization, viral mutation and efficacy of herd immunity.
