Most people who are infected with the novel coronavirus will survive COVID-19. Some will be asymptomatic and might not even realize they’ve been infected. Others will need hospitalization for more severe forms of the illness. But surviving COVID-19, or clearing the virus from the system, doesn’t mean a person will make an immediate recovery. COVID-19 will last for around two weeks in most cases, at which point the virus is gone from the body. But so many people continue experiencing symptoms for several weeks after that. Plenty of survivors even continue to deal with COVID-19 several months after the virus is gone, and doctors can’t precisely explain what causes this type of chronic COVID-19 illness that’s often referred to as “Long COVID.”
Long COVID symptoms can mimic COVID-19 symptoms, such as fatigue, shortness of breath, headaches, and cognitive issues like memory loss and “brain fog.” The psychological side-effects following infection can be quite serious as well, doctors warn, with many COVID-19 patients likely to experience some form of psychiatric disorders, including long-term issues that might need treatment.
