Almost half of all people with mild coronavirus cases still have at least one symptom six months after recovering, a new Israeli study found.

Moreover, in some cases, these symptoms either weren’t present initially or disappeared and then came back.

Among the 46 percent of patients who reported persistent symptoms, the most common was fatigue, followed by an altered sense of smell and taste, and then breathing problems. #longcovid
