During your hospital stay normal social contact was mostly not possible. But social interactions can support a good recovery to full health. Particularly during the time of social distancing and reduced interactions due to COVID-19, regular communication with family, friends and physicians may help to overcome isolation and support your recovery.

To implement the recommended therapy, technologies like video calls or apps can help you stay in contact with your doctor during periods of restricted access face to face. A proactive collaboration with your doctor will not only help you tracking the progress of your recovery but also the doctor at evaluating the effectiveness of the recommended therapy.
