What is Long Covid?

Long covid is a post viral syndrome that involves continued symptoms of Covid-19 that linger for more than 3 months after infections. These symptoms are often subcategorized as debilitating or non-debilitating. They can range from mild shortness of breath and headaches all the way to chronic fatigue, memory loss or “brain fog” which can make it difficult for people to remember simple tasks or things like their own address and phone numbers.

Who Can Get Long Covid?

Anyone can get Long Covid which is what makes it so scary. In some studies as many as 13.3% of those infected with Covid-19 have symptoms one month or longer after infection. While reports vary, roughly 2.5% report symptoms after 3 months and 30% of those hospitalized continue to have symptoms at 6 months.

How do you Prevent, Treat and Diagnose Long Covid?

Studies have shown that the best way to avoid getting Long Covid is to be vaccinated. Those that have received complete vaccination series but experience breakthrough infections are up to 50% less likely to develop Long Covid. While there are currently no treatments for Long Covid, exercise and physical therapy are among the top treatments being utilized currently.

I think I have Long Covid. What should I do next?

If you think you may be suffering from Long Covid you should seek consultation with a medical professional.
