The health impacts that arise due to Covid-19 do not only occur when the virus is still in the patient’s body. Not a few patients who have been declared cured still experience sequelae or what are commonly called “Long Covid”.
Further checks on Covid-19 survivors are still needed. Symptoms of Long Covid can include coughing, muscle aches, headaches, sleep disturbances, and shortness of breath.
