What is post-COVID?
Corona or COVID-19 is an infectious disease. Most people recover within a few days or weeks. But there is also a large group of people who still have (serious) complaints after three months. These are often complaints such as fatigue, headache, muscle pain, shortness of breath, memory problems, inability to concentrate, stomach and intestinal complaints and loss of taste and smell. We call these long-term corona complaints post-COVID and are also called Long COVID.
Complaint
Post-COVID can affect anyone. Because the symptoms are so different, post-COVID is often difficult to recognize. Most people with post-COVID have an average of 10-15 symptoms at the same time.
These are the most common. Also watch the video below with more explanation about post-COVID.
Campaign: Post-COVID, do you recognize it?
Do you or someone close to you still have symptoms long after COVID? It might be post-COVID. That is why C-support has launched a nationwide campaign, ' Post-COVID, do you recognize it?' , to help people recognize these symptoms. C-support offers free advice and support.
