I have been back to work and daily activities for just a week since having Covid for the first time. Each time I try to do a light workout, I end up feeling exhausted and unwell. Following this thread in hopes of answers!

Do NOT try to exercise right now! Google "post exertional malaise." At the moment, pushing yourself could lead to long-term worsening of symptoms. Rest as much as you can for the next month or two, then gradually increase activity and see if you can tolerate it without feeling worse the following day.
