Long Covid is associated with significantly increased risk of death, heart and lung problems, study finds | CNN

In the year following infection, individuals who experience long Covid are at high risk for a range of adverse health outcomes, including a doubled risk of death, according to a new study

The study examined insurance claims data for 13,435 adults with long Covid and 26,870 without Covid-19 during a 12-month follow-up period.

Long Covid has been associated with more than 200 signs and symptoms and 50 health conditions.
