But now, there is growing concern over a separate group of people who don’t seem to fall into either of those two categories. One study states that about 10% of people who’ve had COVID-19 will experience prolonged symptoms one, two or even three months after they were infected. One of the most frustrating parts? There seems to be no consistent reason for this to happen.

This group, which many refer to as “long-haulers,” is mixed with those who experienced both mild and severe cases. And this condition can effect anyone – young, old, those who were healthy, those who had a chronic condition, those who were hospitalized and those who weren’t.
