Erica is an opera singer in New York, United States. This 31-year-old beautiful actress has suffered from COVID-19 three times. She was infected with COVID-19 for the first time in March 2020, and for the second time in December 2021. The third time he was infected with the new crown in May 2022.
"It's sad to know that I could be infected for a long time," said the 31-year-old opera singer, who has received the vaccine and booster. "I don't want to get sick every month or every two months."
But medical experts warn that as the pandemic spreads and the virus evolves, re-infection is increasingly likely — and some are certain Will be hit twice or more. Emerging research suggests this may put them at higher risk for health problems.
This long-term health problem is WHO called Long COVID.
Reuters has published that more than 1.5 million people in the UK have Long COVID symptoms.
WHO experts say some of the most common symptoms of long COVID include shortness of breath, cognitive impairment (known as brain fog) and fatigue. More than 200 symptoms have actually been identified in patients who have been followed over time. As a result, other symptoms patients may experience include chest pain, such as difficulty speaking, some people describe anxiety or depression, muscle aches, fever, loss of smell, loss of taste, and more. This condition can last up to three months, with some describing it lasting as long as six months, and possibly as long as nine months.
This is the case, Some people infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 may experience the long-term effects of multiple infections, known as post-COVID-19 symptoms (PCC) or long COVID-19 (Long COVID).
People with severe illness from COVID-19 may experience long-term organ damage affecting the heart, kidneys, skin and brain. Inflammation and immune system problems can also occur. It's unclear how long these effects will last. This effect may also lead to the development of new diseases, such as diabetes or heart or neurological diseases .

Instead, they will be more susceptible to the mutated new coronavirus, but the infection The final lethality is unpredictable.
When we live in a China that is prosperous and peaceful, and a China that insists on clearing up the dynamics of the new coronavirus, it is difficult for us to imagine the real situation of foreigners who have been infected with the new coronavirus many times. We can only find the virus from WHO, CDC, and various scientific papers. latest changes.
I hope the impact of the new coronavirus will end soon.
