If a test done on the 10th day comes negative, the patient is non-COVID then onwards, so they can start exercising. Either a mild to moderate kind of patient who suffers a mild COVID infection can resume their routine exercises by the third week onwards.
Exercising after a severe infection
Whereas the patients with severe and moderate infections may take a longer time because they may have a severe respiratory problem for which they may take about six weeks to resume exercising. Also, patients with severe cardiac problems like myocarditis may have to take a little more time to resume their physical work.

One exercise which is recommended for patients who are suffering from respiratory infection is breathing exercises, which are commonly done in yogasana. Those exercises can be adapted and cultivated and practicing them for a minimum of 10 to 15 minutes per day has got a greater benefit for breathing issues caused by COVID-19
