Currently very little is known about the clinical, biological, psychological and socioenvironmental impact of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). While most people have uncomplicated recoveries, some continue to live with prolonged illness and symptoms. The most common of these are fatigue, breathing difficulties, joint pain and chest pain. In those whose symptoms persist, COVID-19 has been associated with a worsened quality of life for almost half of them. These on-going difficulties affect not only patients who were hospitalised but also those with mild COVID-19 who were not hospitalised.
There is an urgent need for robust scientific studies into the long-term impact of COVID-19. An understanding of the breadth of the physical, psychological and social complications must be developed and any specific risk factors for developing Long COVID, and also the populations at risk, must be identified. Hospital management teams must be informed to support prevention, rehabilitation and interventions to improve recovery and patient outcomes.
