SARS-CoV-2 antigens stick around: Study finds virus markers can linger for over a year

Researchers found that SARS-CoV-2 antigens can persist in the body for up to 14 months after initial infection, challenging the idea that COVID-19 is a transient illness. This finding has implications for understanding long-term effects of the virus and could influence future treatments and vaccines.
