An analysis provides more insight into who may be most at risk of developing “long COVID,” a lingering chronic set of symptoms have been associated after an acute COVID-19 infection.

While much about long COVID is unknown, some medical researchers say it has symptoms such as brain fog, fatigue, and shortness of breath that can last months after patients first contract a bout of COVID-19. Some people can recover after a lengthy period of time, while some claim that their symptoms have not fully resolved since early 2020 when the pandemic first emerged.
