COVID-19 Symptoms May
Last Beyond 2 Weeks
in Young Patients A survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that even mild symptoms may lead to long-term complications. Nearly 50% of the 300 people surveyed
who tested positive and had a cough still
exhibited symptoms 14 to 21 days later. The study also found that people aged 18-34 with no pre-existing conditions still had symptoms three weeks after being diagnosed. A separate ‘JAMA Cardiology’ study found that those with COVID-19 had structural changes to their heart two months after recovering. The CDC has recommended that
young people continue practicing
social distancing, mask-wearing
and other health measures.
