The aim of this study was to describe the current official guidelines issued by the World Federation of Physiotherapy and Physiotherapy Societies in various countries. It was also aimed to define the recommended procedures for respiratory rehabilitation and physical therapy for Coronavirus Disease 2019 patients (COVID-19). A pilot study was carried out for certain cases that were infected with the Corona virus within the city of Waleed -Libya in the period between October 2020 to March 2021. A physiotherapy treatment was carried involving 15 cases over a 7-day period. During the first several days of treatment, there was no much difference in the readings. However, within a few days, cases began to improve, indicating a positive response to physical therapy. On the last day of the tasks, the respiratory rate was recorded on a device (Spirometer) at the beginning of the session with 92.6 and at the end of the session with 94.6, and the numbers increased significantly, and there was a noticeable improvement in the breathing process and the almost complete removal of cough and congestion.
