Nearly two-thirds of those with long Covid struggle with symptoms for over a year, study finds

NEW DELHI: Nearly two-thirds of those with long Covid continue to struggle with symptoms, including a reduced capacity for exercise and cognitive function, in the second year of illness, a study has found.

Researchers, including those from Ulm University, Germany, studied over 1,500 people aged 18-65 years who were identified as having post-COVID-19 syndrome, or long Covid, which refers to the symptoms persisting despite having recovered from acute infection.

The participants had been previously surveyed for complaints and symptoms they were experiencing after the acute phase of infection had passed and were either diagnosed with long Covid or had not developed the condition.
