Participants should be able to set personal goals, speak English fluently, give informed consent electronically, and have a past diagnosis of COVID-19.

The study tests if CO-OP (Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance) delivered remotely can help improve everyday activity performance, cognition and quality of life in people with Post-COVID Syndrome compared to an inactive control group.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
