The world experienced the most dramatic and catastrophic experience of the last century in 2020, as a result of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2.
Indeed, there has been an unprecedented surge in research in this field. However, a second pandemic has emerged, i.e., people suffering from symptoms after SARS-CoV-2 infection (referred to as long-haulers). “Long COVID” is a catch-all term for people who have recovered from COVID-19 but continue to experience symptoms for much longer than expected.
Another definition is not recovering several weeks or months after the onset of symptoms suggestive of COVID-19, regardless of whether individuals were tested or not. Long COVID is defined as “signs and symptoms developed during or following a disease consistent with COVID-19 and which continue for more than four weeks but are not explained by alternative diagnoses” in a guideline published by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network, and the Royal College of General Practitioners.
