Definition and Variability of Long COVID

Long COVID, also known as post-COVID syndrome, refers to the long-term after-effects of COVID-19 infection. The definition of long COVID varies, with some sources considering symptoms persisting for more than four weeks, while others focus on symptoms lasting for several months. People with long COVID may experience a range of symptoms, including brain fog, extreme fatigue, respiratory issues, musculoskeletal pain, and persistent cough. The duration and severity of these symptoms can differ significantly among individuals. While some individuals recover from long COVID within weeks, others may experience debilitating symptoms that interfere with their daily lives for months or even longer.
