France turns national stadium into a vaccination centre
The resurgence of COVID-19 across the world has renewed concerns surrounding the long-term effects of the disease on its survivors. Adding to these existing worries, a new study has found that one in three survivors (34 percent) was diagnosed with psychological or neurological conditions within six of contracting the novel coronavirus infection.
According to the research published in
The Lancet Psychiatry, anxiety (17 percent) and mood disorders (14 percent) were found to be the most common disorders among COVID-19 survivors. The study, which involved over 230,000 patients, is the largest to date to suggest a connection between the SARS-CoV-2 infection and ensuing neurological and mental conditions.
