Defining long COVID: Going back to the start

"Long COVID" is the condition whereby affected individuals do not recover for several weeks or months following the onset of symptoms suggestive of COVID-19, whether tested or not. 1 The name "long COVID" was created by the people experiencing it in Spring 2020 to describe their journeys of not recovering. 2 Here, we suggest a way to standardize its definition through outlining what constitutes initial infection with COVID-19.

Abstract

"Long COVID" is the condition whereby affected individuals do not recover for several weeks or months following the onset of symptoms suggestive of COVID-19, whether tested or not. 1 The name "long COVID" was created by the people experiencing it in Spring 2020 to describe their journeys of not recovering. 2 Here, we suggest a way to standardize its definition through outlining what constitutes initial infection with COVID-19.
