New study evaluates post-COVID symptoms persistent for up to two years in non-hospitalized patients

Researchers followed up for two years with non-hospitalized post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients in France and determined when they returned to work. These patients had persistent symptoms, with some utterly incapacitating symptoms lasting as long as 22 months in some cases, that hindered them from working again and leading quality life.
