HARTFORD, Conn. — Of several hundred thousand Connecticut residents who have been or will be infected with COVID-19 during this winter’s omicron variant surge, most will avoid the worst-case scenarios of severe illness, intensive care and death.
But that doesn’t necessarily mean their experience with the disease will be over.
Experts say the recent wave of COVID-19 infections will almost certainly lead to a corresponding wave of “long COVID,” a phenomenon in which some patients who no longer have the disease continue to experience symptoms months or even years into the future.
