"New Study Identifies Key Symptoms of Long COVID After Omicron"

A study by the National Institutes of Health found that about 10% of people experience long COVID after an Omicron infection, with a dozen symptoms that most distinguish long COVID. The study included more than 8,600 adults who had COVID-19 at different points in the pandemic, comparing them to another 1,100 who hadn’t been infected. The researchers assigned scores to the symptoms, seeking to establish a threshold that eventually could help ensure similar patients are enrolled in studies of possible long COVID treatments.
