KONTAN.CO.ID – JAKARTA. Some people who have been infected with the coronavirus experience symptoms that last weeks or months after the infection clears up. This post-covid condition is known as long-term covid.
How long it takes to recover from Covid-19 varies from person to person.
Many people with Covid-19 can feel better within a few days or weeks, with most making a full recovery within 12 weeks. But, for some people, the symptoms can last longer even though they have been tested negative and are not contagious.
The likelihood of having these long-term symptoms does not appear to be related to how badly or sick a person was when they first contracted Covid-19.

The reason is, people who experience only mild symptoms or even have no symptoms within a few days or weeks after being infected with the corona virus are reported to also experience long covid conditions.
Experts are still working to learn more about the short-term and long-term health effects associated with Covid-19, who can experience it, and why it happens.
