Post-COVID-19 Patients
Post-COVID-19 patients are individuals who have recovered from the acute phase of COVID-19 but continue to experience lingering symptoms and health challenges for weeks or even months after their initial infection. These individuals are often referred to as "long haulers" or "post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection" (PASC) patients. The symptoms experienced by post-COVID-19 patients can vary widely and may include fatigue, shortness of breath, chest pain, joint pain, cognitive difficulties, and more. Medical professionals and researchers are working to better understand and address these conditions, providing supportive care and rehabilitation to help these patients regain their health and well-being.
