Many major medical centers have opened specialized clinics to treat people with persistent symptoms and related diseases recovering from COVID-19. CDC's Coronavirus self-checker which detects symptoms of the virus can help you make decisions about appropriate medical care. Here are some resources for people who have recovered from the virus but still have health concerns. [Sources: 0, 1, 13]
Most people with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) recover fully within weeks. However, some people with a mild version of the disease may still have symptoms after their initial recovery. People with mild symptoms may have longer-term problems. [Sources: 1, 4]
Some people experience a series of new and persistent symptoms that persist for weeks or months after they are first infected with the virus that causes COVID-19. Other types of post-COVID disorders tend to occur in people who have already had a serious illness, but these symptoms can occur to anyone who has had a COID-19 - disease that was mild when they first showed symptoms. Older people and people with many serious illnesses are more likely to suffer persistent COVID symptoms than younger or otherwise healthy people who may still feel uncomfortable weeks or even months after infection.

In some people the coronavirus (COVID-19) can cause symptoms that last weeks to months after the infection has disappeared. The longer someone has COVID, the longer symptoms can occur, sometimes months after diagnosis of the virus. The effects of COVID--19 Long-term effects Some people who had COID-19 might experience multiple illnesses in the future, such as heart disease, diabetes and kidney disease. [Sources: 2, 4, 13]
Worldwide, there have been more than 14.9 million COVID-19 cases, and research suggests that over 10 percent of these people, known as long-distance drivers, show symptoms more than four weeks after the outbreak. People with severe symptoms of Covid-19 should be treated in the intensive care unit of a hospital with mechanical assistance such as a ventilator for breathing. People over the age of 65 and people with certain health conditions have a higher risk of developing pneumonia and serious illness. [Sources: 1, 2, 5]
If you test positive for COVID-19 but have no symptoms, you can stay at home for the remaining 10 days. If a laboratory test shows that you did not get the virus, you can have symptoms and stay at home as long as you are better (as long as you do not get a fever). In some people, the virus can show the worst symptoms in the second week of illness. [Sources: 0]
Selon the CDC, people vaccinated against COVID-19 are not required to be quarantined or tested if they have no symptoms if they have been vaccinated. People who test positive for COVID but do not develop symptoms in the following 10 days after the test are no longer contagious, with documented exceptions. If you have a severe case of the virus, have a suppressed immune system or other special conditions, your doctor can recommend prolonged isolation or further testing. [Sources: 5, 6]
Those recovering from the coronavirus include people who have not been identified as COVID-19 because they had no symptoms or mild symptoms, who chose not to take a test, had a false positive test or did not take a test for any reason. If people have no symptoms and do not know they are ill, they can still pass the virus on to others. It is more likely that they transmit it to others in the 48 hours after symptoms appear. [Sources: 5, 6]
For this reason, serological tests are not sensitive enough to diagnose active COVID-19 infection in people without symptoms. Scientists and researchers have data on confirmed cases, but they don't count people who haven't received a COV-19 test. About 95% of people will have identified at least 3 out of 5 components of the immune system as SARS-CoV within 2 to 8 months of infection. [Sources: 6, 8, 9]
At a glance, the immune system More than 95% of the COVID-19 people recovering have a permanent memory of the virus up to eight months after infection. In addition, people have more B-cell recollection six months after symptoms appear than after one month. Most people with a mild infection seem to be protected against the virus for at least a year, says a follow-up study on patient recovery in Nature recently. [Sources: 8, 10]
Nutsenzweig predicts that the beta, alpha and delta variants in most people recovering from COVID-19 will not cause serious illnesses. Most people with mild cases of the virus can stay at home and isolate themselves. New research also shows that vaccinated people are better protected against SARS-CoV-2 than those who do not have natural immunity to previous infections with the virus. [Sources: 0, 5, 10]
If you tested positive for COVID-19, you may have inhaled droplets or viral particles infected or released in the air when the person was breathing, talking, coughing, sneezing or singing if he wasn't wearing a mask. The immune system is a component found in people recovering from SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19. When a person is infected with SARS, they develop antibodies within weeks of infection. [Sources: 5, 8, 12]
In people recovering from infection with the virus, the immune system preserves a memory of the virus. Multisystem inflammation syndrome (MIS) is a leading post-COVID disease in which a person continues to have multiple organ effects and other symptoms. [Sources: 7, 8]
People want to know what happens after being diagnosed with the virus as doctors and nursing services work to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and the coronavirus that causes it. Long-haul flights are people who do not fully recover from the virus for weeks or months after symptoms first appear. Imaging tests carried out months after COVID's recovery show permanent damage to the heart muscle in people with mild COVID symptoms. [Sources: 1, 5, 6]
