Moving on to the long-term effects of Covid-19, also called long Covid or post-Covid syndrome, symptoms can include fatigue, shortness of breath, cognitive dysfunction, etc. How prevalent is long Covid among those who have contracted the virus? Many people in the State, especially in the past six to seven weeks, have got Covid-19. Some people who get it are fine afterwards. How prevalent, though, is the experience of long Covid and, from a clinical point of view, how concerned is Dr. Holohan with its legacy in the context of public health?
