Most Los Angeles County residents who have been afflicted with long COVID reported experiencing symptoms severe enough to limit their daily activities for more than four weeks after they became infected, according to a recent survey.
The results shed light on the prevalence of the still-little-understood syndrome — as well as the continued risk posed by the coronavirus even as the number of new cases declines.
"This data shows us that, for some people, the impacts of COVID can last much longer than the initial acute infection," said L.A. County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer.
