Chronic COVID or POST COVID illness
COVID-19 can mean weeks' long
illness, even in young adults and those without chronic conditions who have
mild disease and are treated in outpatient settings, according to survey
results in today's Morbidity and
Mortality Weekly Report from the Centres for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
In a multistate telephone
survey of symptomatic adults who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, 35% had not
returned to their usual state of wellness when they were interviewed 2 to 3
weeks after testing.
Delayed recovery (symptoms of fatigue, cough, and shortness of
breath) was evident in nearly a quarter of 18- to 34-year-olds and a third of
35- to 49-year-olds who were not sick enough to require hospitalization.
