One in five U.S. adults have long COVID symptoms: study


LOS ANGELES, May 24 (Xinhua) -- About one in five adults aged 18 and older in the United States have a health condition that might be related to their previous COVID-19 illness, according to a new study of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

As more people are exposed to and infected by SARS-CoV-2, reports of patients who experience persistent symptoms or organ dysfunction after acute COVID-19 and develop post-COVID conditions have increased, said the study published on Tuesday.
