Up to half of COVID-19 survivors have long-term symptoms

A study published in the RACP Internal Medicine Journal found that up to half of COVID-19 survivors still experience symptoms 12 months post-infection. Giuliano Gaspri, a participant, has 57% lung capacity after being hospitalized for COVID-19 three years ago. Dr. Stuart Tan led the study, noting that symptoms reduced over time. The study also found that vaccinated individuals tend to have fewer and milder symptoms. This highlights the ongoing impact of long COVID and the importance of continued vigilance against the virus.
