Almost a fifth of Covid patients without symptoms went on to experience conditions consistent with long Covid a month after their initial diagnosis, according to a recently published study, AFP reports.
The analysis by non-profit FAIR Health encompassed insurance claims from 1.96 million Americans — the largest population of patients ever studied for long Covid — from February 2020 to February 2021.
"Even as the Covid-19 pandemic wanes, long-haul Covid persists as a public health issue affecting many Americans," said FAIR Health's president Robin Gelburd.
