About a third of those who have recovered from CORONAVIRUS experience post-COVID syndrome, which even a few months after the infection prevents them from performing routine activities. Khadizhat Omarova, HEAD of the Clinical Research Department of the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor, told about this, RIA Novosti reports.
“Because of it (post-covid syndrome.), About a third of people, three to four months after the illness, cannot fully take care of themselves, do some daily activities,” the epidemiologist said.
A mild illness lasts about two weeks, with a more severe one - three to six weeks, but even after receiving a negative PCR test result, the patient may still have symptoms of coronavirus, Omarova said. According to her, the syndrome most often goes away within six months, gradually regressing and weakening, but in some people it persists for a longer period.
