Most vaccinated people who now catch Covid-19 report mild symptoms and emerge from their isolation period with few ill effects. However, a significant minority, between 10% and 30%, experience some residual symptoms, regardless of whether or not they were symptomatic during their infectious period.

The most common symptoms are fatigue, brain-fog, and breathlessness, but the World Health Organisation has identified more than 200 reported symptoms including chest pain, change in sense of taste or smell, anxiety and/or low mood, muscle pain and weakness, stomach and digestion difficulties, rash and depression.

It is still unclear who is more likely to develop Long COVID but British researchers found symptoms of Long COVID are more frequently reported by women (up to 50% more likely than men), those with poor health before the catching Covid, and those aged 50 to 60 years. Pre-existing asthma or obesity/overweight also increases your chances of getting the post-viral illness

Although there are studies underway trialing possible treatments, such as anti-inflammatories or antivirals, there are currently no effective, conventional medical treatments for Long Covid.
