The study took into account other health problems that may have influenced these symptoms, Vivaldi said. The symptoms included fatigue, shortness of breath, dizziness, difficulty concentrating, memory problems, stomach problems, coughing and sleeping trouble, the report said.

Researchers also inquired whether they had had a Covid-19 infection, another respiratory infection or neither. The latest scientific paper, published Friday in The Lancet’s EClincialMedicine journal, surveyed more than 10,000 people, asking them to report on whether they had each of the 16 symptoms found in long Covid, Vivaldi said. Scientists finally know why people get more colds and flu in winterĪccording to a 2022 study, 1.3% of children and 6.9% of adults had reported ever having long Covid, which those researchers defined as having symptoms that last at least three months after the infection.
