It’s been a full year that COVID-19 has affected us and there have been new studies about the virus’ effects this week.
In Denmark a large study was conducted and discovered that many people who were able to recover from COVID-19 remained “Shielded” from the virus for about six months. Nonetheless there are still various implications that may occur. The study has shown small amounts of reinfections, relapses and lingering symptoms.
Denmark Scientists that conducted this study say that reinfections are most likely asymptomatic or mild due to the immune system suppressing the virus. This is not taking into account of assessing reinfections with new variants of the virus.
Now, new research is being done to study the effects of the vaccine on patients with long-term symptoms of COVID-19. It is still too soon to know if the vaccines have beneficial effects on patients with continuing issues known as “Long-Haulers”.
