People with long COVID can have a variety of symptoms that can last for weeks, months or years after infection. We appreciate you bringing up this perspective and affirm those people who have been dealing with long COVID for so long that months have turned into years. You can find the full definition of long COVID below.

Long COVID is a condition where people have persistent symptoms after an initial COVID-19 infection that last for three months or longer. If you’re having symptoms that persist beyond three months after your initial infection, or new symptoms that you didn’t have prior to your infection, it’s generally considered long COVID.
