A recent systematic review reported persistent symptoms at 3–6 months in a median of 57% (range 13–92) of hospitalised patients (six studies) and 26% (2–62) of non-hospitalised patients (ten studies).2 This study and other reviews identified few studies from low-income settings,3 but with more than 245 million SARS-CoV-2 infections reported globally,4 millions of people are likely to already be experiencing long-term illness. While COVID-19 vaccines have reduced the risk of severe COVID-19 and death, continued high rates of SARS-CoV-2 infection will lead to further disability, having a huge impact on individuals, their families, health services, and society... en_US
