British scientists said that long-term COVID-19 affects human health even more severely than cancer in the fourth stage.
Scientists from University College London and the University of Exeter have studied the effects of long-term exposure to the coronavirus, writes The Guardian. They analyzed the medical histories of about 4,000 patients aged 18 to 65 who were treated for 12 or more weeks.
The study found that many continued to complain of fatigue after recovery. Scientists note that prolonged covid affects all areas of life. It is more difficult for people to maintain social relationships, perform household duties and work. This ultimately affects their psychological state.
Therefore, the researchers intend to study the possibility of reducing the negative impact of the coronavirus infection, since it still remains and, according to the researchers, will provoke new waves of infection.
