Tips for people with long Covid

Studies around the world are inconclusive on the duration long Covid may last in an individual. Research, however, states that patients can assume the time frame to be anywhere between 3 months up to 1 year.

There are currently no targeted treatments available for long Covid patients. A health professional will however administer individual tests to understand your symptoms and their effects.

Some of the solutions offered for long Covid symptoms are targeted. For example, if a patient is suffering from fatigue, it is recommended that he or she gradually increase their physical exertion rather than at once, such that the body incrementally recovers.
