SINGAPORE - People who have recovered from Covid-19, regardless of the severity of their disease, may be at risk of developing blood clots due to an overactive immune system, according to a study by local scientists.

Blood samples from 30 patients who had recovered from mild, moderate and severe Covid-19 were collected a month after they had been discharged from the hospital.
