The Coronavirus Pandemic Crisis is still far from over. And for many who contracted COVID-19 in the height of its spread, it seems the virus has left some lasting health effects.

There is a lot that is Still unknown about Coronavirus, and one of those things is exactly how it can impact sufferers in the long term. According to data gathered by the UK’s COVID -19 within two weeks. However, the data they released in June suggests that one in ten people may still have symptoms after three weeks, and some may suffer for months.

For the people who do suffer for longer, it seems the symptoms they report are mixed. Over on Twitter, a number of people have taken to the social network to share their differing experiences. Some have noted intense fatigue still digging them, while others have never regained their loss of smell. Some sufferers have also experienced mental health issues as a result. The way the virus manifests is obviously different in each person, but with such little from information on the nature of COVID-19, it is interesting to see how different people continue to be affected in the weeks and months after their official diagnosis.

Increased heart rate

Twitter user Anthony Smith shared his experience of an elevated heart rate, months after experiencing a ”mild” case of the virus.

Fatigue

Callum o’ Dwyer took to the social network to share how drained he has continued to feel for the past three months since contracting Coronavirus.

Mental Health

Actor Idris Elba was diagnosed with COVID-19 in March, but experienced no symptoms. It was only in the aftermath of contracting the virus that he realised he was suffering with his mental health.

Sense of smell

Loss of smell and taste were later addictions to the list of key Coronavirus Symptoms, but it seems they continue to be prominent ones. And what many people have noticed is how long it is taking to regain the senses.
