The risk of new disease, disability and death remains elevated in some patients as long as two years after catching Covid-19, according to a large study showing the infection’s prolonged heath impact.
People who were never sick enough to be hospitalized for acute Covid still had a higher risk than uninfected people of developing long Covid-related disorders such as dangerous blood clots, diabetes and lung, gastrointestinal and musculoskeletal disease two years later, according to the study published Monday in the journal Nature Medicine.
