This research study conducted by the University of Missouri identified long-term symptoms associated with COVID-19, also known as LongCOVID. The research team studied the long-term effects on patients who contracted the virus and found that they experienced a wide range of symptoms including fatigue, joint pain, shortness of breath, fever, headaches, and difficulty sleeping. They also reported that some patients continued to have chest tightness, cough, and weakness at least three weeks past the infection. These findings suggest that LongCOVID symptoms can be an issue for some people who contract the virus and should be taken into consideration when evaluating the overall health of a patient.
