The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned of an increase in COVID-19 cases around the world, which is worrying researchers due to the risk of mutations and complications. “The more the virus circulates, the greater the likelihood that it will mutate and become more severe,” said Van Kerkhove, director of Prevention and Preparedness for Epidemics and Pandemics at the organization.
Long COVID, also known as “long COVID,” refers to the after-effects following the initial infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Persistent symptoms can vary and affect different parts of the body.
In this regard, neurologist Conrado Estol explained in Radio EME what “The virus remains lodged somewhere in the human body and continues to cause problems in different ways.” This can include respiratory, neurological, and cardiac problems, among others.
It is important to follow prevention and protection measures to avoid the spread of the virus and reduce the risk of complications. WHO and health experts continue to monitor the situation and provide guidance to mitigate the impact of COVID-19.
