Even so, the specialists advise caution in interpreting this study, remembering that not all the consequences of long Covid are caused by immunological complications. "Although it is very encouraging and a reason for optimism, there are still about a third of patients who identify some ongoing impact on their quality of life."
What to do if you have symptoms of Covid-19:
Stay calm and avoid going to hospitals. Stay home and call SNS 24 (808 24 24 24). Choose option 1 (for other symptoms you should choose option 2) or 112 if it is a medical emergency. Follow all the guidelines given and avoid being close to people, keeping a distance of at least two meters.
