Post covid MDCT finding was normal in 32 (64%) patients, pulmonary fibrosis in 10(20%) patients, residual consolidation in 1 (2%) patient, residual GGO in 5 (10%) patients and fibrosis with consolidation in 2(4%). Correlation between acute stage COVID- MDCT findings and incidence of Post covid Symptoms was significant for Consolidation.
