GENEVA, Jan. 26 (Xinhua) -- Patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 should have access to follow-up care if they have persistent, new or changing symptoms, while hospitalized patients should use low-dose anticoagulants to prevent clots from forming in blood vessels, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended on Tuesday.
In a statement, the WHO cited evidence gathered on the post-COVID condition, also known as "long COVID," in which people who have recovered from COVID-19 continue to experience longer-term symptoms like extreme fatigue, persistent cough and exercise intolerance.
