Long Covid we understand that for some people, coronavirus can cause symptoms that last weeks, months or even years after the infection has gone. This is also now recognised by healthcare professional and the below information is supplied by the NHS.
How long it takes to recover from COVID-19 is different for everybody. Many people feel better in a few days or weeks and most will make a full recovery within 12 weeks. But for some people, symptoms can last longer. The chances of having long-term symptoms does not seem to be linked to how ill you are when you first get COVID-19.
