Background: Healing process post COVID-19 infection have impact on lung function.Sequele and fibrosis causes impaired lung function in the survivors.This study aim to describe the lung function after COVID-19 infection.Methods: This study is an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional method of 36 survivors of COVID-19.The sample was taken using systematic random sampling.Spirometry was performed on participants who took part in the study.There were changes in lung function assessed from the results of KVP, VEP1 and VEP1 / KVP.Shapiro Wilk test and Spearman test were performed to assess the relationship between severity and lung function based on the results of spirometry.Results: The results showed that most of the survivors of COVID-19 were male, aged <50 years.The results of spirometry showed restriction abnormalities in 5 people (13.9%).The median value of KVP was 3205 ml, after which the Spearman test was carried out a significant result was 0.002 (p value ≤0.05).There is a significant correlation between the degree of severity and the spirometric results in the form of restriction abnormalities.There is an r value of 0.83 which means that the correlation is very strong Conclusion: The heavier the severity of the COVID-19 patient, the lower the lung function of the patient.There are mild restriction abnormalities in patients with severe COVID-19 infection
