The coronavirus also has the ability to cause irreversible changes in the lungs.
Antonina Ploskireva, a representative of the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor, warned about this.
He said the risk of heart attack and stroke is also increased, often leading to patients becoming disabled.
Ploskireva noted that in some patients, various clinical manifestations after COVID-19 persist for a long time.
“These include asthenic syndrome and respiratory symptoms, primarily cough,” he said.
The virologist also stressed that these manifestations occur regardless of whether the patient is hospitalized or not.
