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.
