INFORMATION: What is Long COVID?

Each individual will experience COVID recovery differently.  The course of recovery does not appear to be related to the severity of the initial infection. Many people make a full recovery within 12 weeks but some people do not. For some people, symptoms can persist for longer than 12 weeks and may change over time and new symptoms may develop.
