A British research team surveyed cured patients and found that about 1 in 3 patients re-admitted within 5 months with severe sequelae.
Of these, 12% eventually died.

Felicity, a university professor, suffered from Corona 19 and was cured, but is suffering from serious aftereffects.

Felicity is not the only one suffering from the aftereffects of Corona 19.
A research team at the University of Leicester in the UK surveyed 40,000 people cured for Corona 19 in the UK, and 29.4% were hospitalized again within five months.
This is because the respiratory, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes have worsened due to the aftereffects.
12% of patients readmitted eventually died.
The sequelae was more common in people over 50, men than women, and people who are overweight.
Several other studies have shown that serious sequelae remains in the lungs, heart, and brain even after curing Corona 19.
According to a survey by the National Respiratory Medicine Center in China, 76% of cured COVID-19 patients complained of fatigue, sleep disturbances, and lung dysfunction after 6 months.
A study at the University of Edinburgh in the UK found that 55% of cured COVID-19 patients complained of cardiac abnormalities.
Research has also shown that the brain can age up to 10 years due to sequelae.
