What are the long-term effects of COVID-19?
What we know
Mild and moderate cases
Severe cases
Mental health
Treatment and support
Chronic fatigue syndrome
When to seek help
Summary
Most people who develop coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) recover within 2–6 weeks, but some experience lasting symptoms. Others with severe COVID-19 may develop complications, require rehabilitation after a hospital stay, or both.

In addition to the physical impact of COVID-19, people may also experience changes in their mental health.

Below, we describe the long-term effectsTrusted Source of COVID-19 on physical and mental health and explore the resources available for help.

Since Medical News Today published this article, the paper in question has come under scrutiny. The journal in which it appears — PLOS ONE — has issued an “expression of concern.” The journal’s editors explain that “Concerns were raised about the validity of results and conclusions reported in the article and about undisclosed competing interests.” Read more here.

What we know about the long-term effects

Because COVID-19 is a new disease, scientists are unsure about the effects months or years after the initial illness.

Researchers have theorized that the virus responsible for COVID-19, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), may cause similar effects to other coronaviruses, such as those that cause severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS).

According to a 2020 study, around 30%Trusted Source of people who recovered from severe SARS or MERS had long-term lung abnormalities. A 2009 study found that 40%Trusted Source of people who survived SARS still experienced chronic fatigue about 3.5 years later, on average.

But while SARS, MERS, and COVID-19 are caused by viruses from the same family, there are key differences among them, as the 2020 study highlights. For this reason, looking to the other two diseases does not provide a reliable way to predict COVID-19’s long-term effects.

Research into the impact of COVID-19 is ongoing. Initiatives such as the COVID Symptom Study are tracking peoples’ symptoms and the long-term consequences of the disease via a mobile app.
