Some people may experience lasting symptoms, called long--COVID , which may include damage to the brain, heart , kidneys, and lungs, the Health website reports today (Oct. 20, 2024).
Every case is different, but research has given experts a good idea of how long COVID--19 lasts.
You can expect to recover within 10 days to two weeks if you have mild COVID--19 symptoms. It may take months to feel better for more severe cases. Some people with severe symptoms may require hospitalization.
Other people with severe underlying health conditions -- like diabetes or heart or lung disease -- may be at risk for severe COVID--19 complications.COVID --19 complications include: Acute respiratory distress syndrom (ARDS),Lung abscess, and Pneumonia. You may be contagious if you feel better but test positive within 10 days after your symptoms satart. In that case, the CDC advises that you wear a high--quality mask.
People with severe COVID--19 symptoms or weak immune systems may need more time for the virus to clear. The CDC advises consulting a healthcare provider before ending your isolation.
