More than half of patients suffer long COVID symptoms

Caption

A study from Osaka Metropolitan University found that more than half of COVID-19 patients still had residual symptoms, even close to a year afterwards. Symptoms such as fatigue, abnormalities in senses of taste and smell, hair loss, and sleep disorders persisted long after contracting COVID-19, regardless of the severity of the initial infection.
