Low incidence of cases means not a lot of data here(AU), however there are a growing number of studies worldwide which indicate the long term side effects of COVID are greater than first believed.
The ADAPT study, carried out by researchers at St Vincent’s Hospital and the Kirby Institute, revealed around one-third of participants were still experiencing health problems 240 days (around eight months) later. It also found one in five still felt unwell after eight months.
