The last two years of the Covid-19 pandemic has shown us the various effects of the virus. Now, a new research study, including a person of India origin, has found that most people infected with the SARS-CoV2 virus recover within 12 months, irrespective of the severity, 

The study, published in the European Respiratory Journal, showed that although 75 per cent had recovered at the 12-month mark after becoming ill with the virus, 25 per cent of patients still had at least one of the three most common symptoms, including coughing, fatigue, and breathlessness.

"Generally, one should not worry if they are feeling unwell right after their infection, as the chances of recovering within 12 months is very high, and just because you have typical long-Covid symptoms at three months does not mean they will stay forever," said senior author Manali Mukherjee from McMaster University.
