In handling it, Physiotherapy has the role of providing exercise, mobilization, and rehabilitation interventions for survivors of critical illnesses related to Covid-19 so that they can return to function functionally.
Furthermore, Rini explained that the global pandemic has become the center of attention of public health officials in various countries in the world.
