Popis: Coronavirus 'long-haulers" currently represent a significant public health concern. Recent reports suggest that persistent effects of COVID-19, such as fatigue, dyspnea, chest pain, anxiety, depression, arthralgia, may last for months and lead to a decline in quality of life. Risk factors for long COVID are still not very well understood. Survivors suffer from ongoing symptoms. This new entity highlights the need for a multidisciplinary approach that would enable closer monitoring of affected patients and implementation of measures that could reduce the impact of the pandemic on the overall patient wellbeing after the resolution of acute symptoms.
