Three years on, long Covid still blights the lives of some patients – The National

An Israeli health study of two million people found that most long Covid-19 patients had shrugged off symptoms a year after infection.

But some of those with severe cases say they have never recovered.

Researchers analysed the health records of people provided by Maccabi Healthcare Services, one of the four health funds operating in Israel, and found that more than 70 symptoms linked to long Covid cleared up within 12 months of a mild infection.
