Post COVID-19 condition, which includes long COVID, are a group of conditions that occur after having COVID-19.[1][11] It involves symptoms that occur four or more weeks after the initial infection.[1] Symptoms may include tiredness, shortness of breath, headaches, anxiety and depression, loss of smell, difficulty concentrating, headaches, fever, and palpitations.[1] Symptoms may also get worse with activity.[1]

It may occur in anyone following COVID-19, regardless of the severity of the original infection.[1] A number of cases have occurred in those infected despite being vaccination; though it is less common in this group.[12] Those who have had severe illness may also have damage to multiple organ system, develop autoimmune conditions, post-intensive care syndrome (PICS), or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).[1][5] Children may experience multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C).[1]

The case definition is still being developed.[5] There are no specific laboratory or imaging findings that confirm or rules out the condition; though other potential causes should be excluded.[8][7]

Prevention is by preventing COVID-19, including vaccination, physical distancing, and wearing a face mask.[1] Treatment involves efforts to address specific symptoms and improve physical, mental, and social wellbeing.[8] Specialized clinics have been created, in certain jurisdictions, to try to address the condition.[13][14] About 20% of people diagnosed with COVID have symptoms for longer than 4 weeks and 10% of people for longer than 12 weeks.[9] Women are more commonly affected than men.[7]
