Objectives: To assess the quality of life after COVID-19 of 408 study subjects. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 408 officials under the management of Thai Binh Provincial Party Committee (both incumbents and retired currently living in the province). Results: The mean score of quality of life SF-36 was 49.1 ± 5.1, there was no difference between the quality of life scores between men and women. The highest score is the average pain score (93.5 ± 13.0), the lowest score is the average health score (51.6 ± 9.4). Study subjects who were symptomatic with COVID-19 had lower SF-36 and mental health scores than the asymptomatic group. SF-36 scores tend to decrease with age. The SF-36 score tends to decrease as cardiovascular risk increases.
