A health expert has warned that 'powering through' a Covid-19 infection will do you no favours.
In fact, it could make your condition worsen and may even lead to you developing long Covid - when symptoms continue after your initial Covid infection ends. The expert urges people not to treat the condition like a mild cold that will pass over soon enough.
Professor Danny Altmann is a long Covid expert and works at Imperial College London. He has co-authored a book on the condition, which is called 'The Long Covid Handbook'. Professor Altmann says that people who have been infected should rest as much as possible until they test negative, reports the Mirror.
