Link (26 February 2025) Key facts Most patients with COVID-19 recover fully, but some develop post COVID-19 condition with medium- to long-term effects on one or more body systems. Approximately 6 in every 100 people who have COVID-19 develop post COVID-19 condition. While data are limited, the chance of developing post COVID-19 condition appears to be lower now than earlier in the pandemic. However, the virus is still circulating widely, and every new infection is associated with a risk. Fatigue, breathlessness, muscle or joint pain, and impaired sleep are common symptoms of post-COVID-19 condition. WHO is working to develop clinical practice guidelines for management of post COVID-19 condition. Health-care providers can guide patients on self-management of symptoms and offer medication for symptom relief or referral for rehabilitation services as needed.
Most patients with COVID-19 recover fully, Well, they seem to. Bit early to be making such a definitive statement. Not unreasonable possibility there might be long-term consequences emerging a few years/decades down the track. See Post-Polio Syndrome.
