WATERTOWN, N.Y. (WWNY) - Just because you’re done with COVID-19, it doesn’t mean COVID-19 is done with you.
There are increasing reports of ‘long haul’ COVID, symptoms which linger long after the virus is apparently gone.
Long haul COVID appears to particularly affect people under the age of 50.
Having it increases your chance of death up to six months after infection.
“Even if you get mild COVID, just a head cold, not worried about it, it still increases the risk of having these serious things happen,” said Dr. Joseph Wetterhahn, Medical Director of Samaritan Family Health Network.
