As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic progressed across the world, leaving hundreds of millions of infections in its wake, about one in ten found themselves experiencing prolonged symptoms of ill-health even after the virus had been eliminated from the body and they had successfully recovered from the infection. A new preprint deals with the mental baggage accompanying this condition, often termed “long covid.”
A preprint version of the study is available on the medRxiv* server, while the article undergoes peer review.
