COVID-19已成为对卫生系统产生重大影响的大流行病。在许多情况下，这导致康复服务中断。另一方面，康复必须是COVID-19管理的一个组成部分。COVID-19的康复应从急性和急性后早期护理开始，并需要在急性后和长期康复阶段继续进行。当然，它应该遵循特定的安全协议。此外，必须为所有其他有需要的人提供康复服务。从卫生系统的角度来看，全球康复联盟敦促决策者确保所有COVID-19患者在急性期、急性期后和长期阶段都能获得康复服务。此外，必须确保所有其他有康复需要的人都能获得康复服务。康复服务必须配备个人防护设备，并遵循严格的卫生措施。特别是，弱势群体必须能够获得康复服务。因此，在COVID-19大流行期间，必须将康复作为卫生优先事项，并提供充足的财政资源。最后但并非最不重要的是，应进行科学研究，以澄清疫情对康复服务的影响以及对COVID-19患者康复需求的影响。
COVID-19 has become a pandemic with strong influence on health systems. In many cases it leads to a disruption of rehabilitation service provision. On the other hand, rehabilitation must be an integral part of COVID-19 management. Rehabilitation for COVID-19 should start from acute and early post-acute care and needs to be continued in the postacute and long-term rehabilitation phase. Of course, it should follow specific safety protocol. Additionally, rehabilitation must be kept available for all other people who are in need. From the perspective of health system, the Global Rehabilitation Alliance urges decision makers to ensure that rehabilitation services will be available for all patients with COVID-19 in the acute, post-acute and long-term phase. Additionally, it must be ensured that all other persons with rehabilitation need have access to rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation services must be equipped with personal protection equipment and follow strict hygiene measures. In particular, rehabilitation must be accessible for vulnerable populations. For that reason, rehabilitation must be kept a health priority during the COVID-19 pandemic and given adequate financial resources. Last but not least, scientific studies should be performed to clarify the impact of the pandemic on rehabilitation services as well as on the needs for rehabilitation of COVID-19 patients.
