Post COVID Lunch and Learn Series
Most people with COVID-19 fully recover within days or weeks of their infection, but others suffer from post-COVID symptoms long afterward. UAB Medicine experts are hosting a weekly “lunch-and-learn” virtual series this summer to help people better understand and manage post-COVID symptoms, which are sometimes called “long COVID” or “post-COVID syndrome”.
To sign up for any of the sessions listed below, click on the register button. As part of the registration process, you will be able to submit questions for our experts to answer during their sessions. Each session will last about one hour and will be conducted over Zoom.
WHAT IS POST-COVID?
Post-COVID symptoms are defined as new, returning, or ongoing health problems that people can experience 4 weeks or more after first being infected with the virus that causes COVID-19. In some cases, people who had no symptoms (or mild symptoms) when they were first infected with the virus can have post-COVID symptoms. Also, these symptoms may or may not be the same as the symptoms they experienced when they were first infected with COVID-19.
Most people with COVID-19 fully recover within days or weeks of their infection, but others suffer from post-COVID symptoms much longer. UAB Medicine experts are hosting a weekly “lunch-and-learn” virtual series this summer to help people better understand and manage post-COVID symptoms, which are sometimes called “long COVID” or “post-COVID syndrome”.
