The prevalence among the patients who recovered from hospitalization was more i.e. (52.9%) as compared to the individuals who benefited from home quarantine i.e. (47.1%). Patients who had received both doses of the vaccine had a higher prevalence of the condition i.e. (52%) as compared to the patients who took only one dose of vaccine i.e. (48%).
