时间窗: 2years
Constitutional and neurological manifestations are two of the most persistent symptoms. Lack of appropriate levels of awareness about long COVID-19, as well as the tendency of patients in this demographic to self-medicate are leading causes of the underreporting of long COVID-19 symptoms in this region
