Long COVID is a chronic illness that affects people even after recovering from COVID-19. Studies show that around 73% of individuals experience persistent symptoms for at least 60 days after infection. While community-based studies suggest a lower prevalence, up to 50-70% of hospitalized patients do not fully recover. The number of long COVID cases is increasing as the global COVID-19 cases surpass 500 million.
