Our results suggest that the biggest most sustained stems non-specific (fatigue -7.7 percentage (pp), confusion/ lack concentration -10.7 pp, sleep disorders -11.5pp, P < 0.005), whereas effect system-specific symptoms, such as musculoskeletal (weakness muscles muscle pain) SWB, are less profound more transient. Taking a similar approach other individuals over to describe trends attributable specific will help understand post-acute phase COVID-19 how it should be defined better managed. Post-acute COVID19 were significant decrease up 18 after initial
