The Short- And Long-Term Affect Of COVID-19

Some persons who follow the Trusted Source see a significant reduction in quality of life after COVID-19 infection. This is known as a post-COVID-19 syndrome.

Long-haul COVID, long-term COVID, and late sequelae are all synonyms for post-COVID-19 symptoms. The symptoms that have been seen most often among SARS-CoV-2 survivors include shortness of breath, tiredness, coughing, and cognitive impairment.

The early effect and stress on the healthcare system resulting from the 2009 H1N1 pandemic were recalled by infectious disease expert Dr. William Schaffner.

In an interview with Medical News Today, he said that the start of the pandemic was marked by quick, aggressive learning when healthcare workers had to learn how to care for individuals infected with COVID-19.

When he mentioned the obstacles, such as a lack of resources and equipment, he also described those factors.

As healthcare provider Dr. Schaffner describes, while care of patients with COVID-19 has improved over time, there are still long-term issues with COVID-19 and how SARS-CoV-2 produces these symptoms which are now being researched.
