Overview of long COVID

Long COVID or Post COVID conditions, also known as post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection(PASC),refers to a range of symptoms that continue for weeks, months, or even years after the patient initially recovering from the coronavirus disease(COVID-19). The condition can affect anyone who was infected by COVID-19, regardless of the severity of their initial infection. The symptoms of long term COVID can various between each individual and be very complicated because it sometimes impact multiple organism systems. The complexity of the symptoms often leads to post-COVID conditions being diagnosed as other diseases.
