Recovered from Covid, but still feeling tired, sick and achy? Well, you’re probably not imagining these symptoms. According to the World Health Organisation, not only is long Covid a real thing, it’s also a matter of grave concern. With 200 million people known to have suffered the dreaded virus, WHO issued a statement saying it was worried about unaccounted for numbers who may be feeling the effects of long Covid. Not just that, WHO also wants such patients to seek medical help.

While the global organisation has conducted several seminars to better understand the mysterious disease, its representative said there are some 200 symptoms of long Covid. Some of these are chest-pain, tingling and rashes. While some patients experience symptoms dragging on from the initial phase, other seem to recover and then relapse.
