Serious Cases of Covid Increase Long Covid Risk

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), long Covid symptoms “are a wide range of new, returning, or ongoing health problems that people experience after being infected with the virus that causes COVID-19”. Since, as of yet, there’s no clear pathology of this type of post-infection sickness, ailments can include “tiredness or fatigue that interferes with daily life,” “difficulty thinking or concentrating,” “difficulty breathing or shortness of breath” and similar symptoms.
