The risk of developing long COVID has decreased since the start of the pandemic, particularly evident among vaccinated individuals, but it remains a concern with ongoing infections, where even a lower prevalence rate poses a substantial risk.
"Long COVID is on the descent," stated Dr. Ziyad Al-Aly, emphasizing the decline in long COVID cases over the pandemic, while highlighting that a prevalence rate of 3.5% is still significant as it affects millions of individuals.
"Three-point-five-percent is not zero," Dr. Al-Aly cautioned, indicating that even though long COVID rates have decreased, there is still a considerable number of individuals at risk of experiencing devastating symptoms post-infection.
