For some of us who have recovered from Covid-19 and are still experiencing some symptoms, we could have what is known as post-Covid or long Covid.

According to Dr Janet Diaz, the World Health Organization’s Head of Clinical Management, this emerging illness occurs in individuals who have had confirmed or probable new coronavirus infections, “usually three months on from the onset of the Covid-19, with symptoms that last for at least two months and cannot be explained by an alternative diagnosis.”
