For Those With Long COVID-19, Symptoms Endure Past 18 Months

Most individuals who experience long-term COVID-19 symptoms 12 months after the infection resolves continue to endure the same symptoms 18 months later.

Only 11% of those surveyed reported they had no recovery from COVID-19 at 12 months and 18 months post-infection.
