Long-term health impacts of COVID-19. Many people who were infected with the coronavirus have experienced long-term health impacts from their infection, commonly known as long covid conditions. According to WHO (Clinical long-term effects of COVID-19), long covid conditions occur usually 3 months from the onset of COVID-19 with symptoms that last for at least two months. The symptoms may be new onset after initial recovery from an acute COVID-19 attack or persist from the initial conditions. They may also fluctuate or relapse over time, having an impact on everyday functioning.

The exact causes of long covid are unknown. Medical researchers are working on the possible causes of long covid, which will help in advice for long covid treatment. Several factors have been related to long covid, e.g., effects of the virus on the body (nervous system and vascular system), the possibility of virus fragments lingering in the body, or the immune system becoming overactive in response to COVID-19.
