for the most recent information on the COVID-19 pandemic.
Over the past few months, an increasing number of people worldwide say that after developing COVID-19, they are experiencing a prolonged state of ill health that people now refer to as long COVID.
People with long COVID often experience symptoms, such as fever, fatigue, or headaches, on and off for months after the initial disease should have subsided.
Existing evidence indicates that COVID-19 symptoms should disappear around 2 weeks after the onset of symptoms.
The reasons why so many people continue to experience disruptive symptoms remains unclear. However, researchers and medical doctors are now starting to look into possible mechanisms and the best ways to support individuals with long COVID.
