Long COVID is most prevalent in the most seriously ill, large-scale study finds

A collaborative study involving researchers from Karolinska Institutet has charted the prevalence of severe physical symptom burden among Scandinavians for up to two years after a SARS-CoV-2 infection. Most affected were people who had a severe COVID-19 infection, while the researchers found no elevated prevalence of long COVID in those who had never been bedridden. The study is published in The Lancet Regional Health—Europe.
