A study published in the journal Nature Communications looked into the symptoms of long COVID. Researchers followed more than 30,000 people with COVID-19 infections alongside a control group of over 60,000. The symptoms most commonly associated with long COVID were found to be breathlessness, palpitations, chest pain, and brain fog. Being asymptomatic and vaccinated lessens the likelihood of suffering long-haul COVID, but it doesn’t eliminate it entirely. The World Health Organization uses three months as the mark of when COVID becomes long COVID. To avoid the risks of an infection, get fully vaccinated, seek treatment if you feel sick, and take precautions such as wearing a mask.
Key Takeaways:
- People who suffered from severe COVID were more likely to experience long COVID symptoms.
- The WHO sets three months as the mark of when COVID can be considered long COVID.
- To protect yourself from COVID, get fully vaccinated and take treatment if you do get sick.
“Researchers found that among those infected with COVID-19, people who went on to show signs of long COVID were more likely to persistently suffer from 24 of 26 tracked symptoms.”
