New research finds that 30% of people with COVID-19 continue to have symptoms up to nine months after initial infection.

New research published Friday in the journal JAMA Network Open finds that 30% of people with COVID-19 continue to have symptoms up to nine months after initial infection.

Of the 177 patients followed, 150 were never hospitalized and considered to have mild illness and 11 were asymptomatic. 23 out of the 177 also had hypertension. A previous study of the same group found that 36% of non-hospitalized patients had lingering symptoms 2-3 weeks after initial diagnosis. Overall, 23 patients reported other symptoms including cough, trouble breathing, and muscle aches. 4 patients said they continued having brain fog. Among the 16 hospitalized patients, more than 80% reported to still have trouble breathing. More than 80% of the hospitalized group also reported still having a cough and more than 80% of the group also reported feeling feverish up to 9 months after diagnosis.
