- The largest global study of “Long COVID” concluded that many patients experience COVID-19 symptoms for at least six months after the initial infection with the novel coronavirus.
- Some of the patients surveyed were unable to return to work for weeks or months and had to take more time off to recover.
- The scientists said the most common Long COVID symptoms include fatigue, tiredness, and “brain fog.” They observed several less common symptoms as well, many of which were neurological.
Not all patients who recover from COVID-19 do so quickly. Some continue to experience symptoms even after their immune systems have eliminated the virus. They’ve been called “long haulers,” with their condition often described as “Long COVID.” A variety of studies have shown that the number of people affected by Long COVID can be quite significant and have revealed the symptoms they might experience. One of the most troubling aspects of Long COVID is that it doesn't just replicate the symptoms that appear during COVID-19. People have experienced all sorts of unusual problems that have ultimately been linked to the coronavirus infection.
Doctors still can’t explain why Long COVID presents itself or how long it will last, but they’re certainly aware of how serious it can be. One health expert speculated recently that Long COVID symptoms could last up to a year after the initial infection, although there was no data to back those claims up. Now, the largest global study of Long COVID shows that the symptoms can linger for as long as six months, impacting regular life in the process.
