Long-haulers is the name coined to describe those who had COVID-19, have largely recovered and are no longer testing positive, but who are still experiencing a myriad of symptoms. For some, it s months later and they are still feeling the effects, said Susie Goulding, creator of the Facebook group, COVID Long-Haulers Support Group Canada. The list of common long-hauler symptoms includes chronic fatigue, joint pain, persistent chest pain, shortness of breath and more, according to a variety of studies, including ones from the U.S. Centre for Disease Control released this summer, and several from universities and institutions around the world.
