The British scientific community recently warned the government that the data shows that most local COVID-19 patients have not fully recovered after a year, and medical institutions still need to track their health.
Natalie, who lives in London, contracted the coronavirus two years ago, but she has not yet recovered, and it is difficult to even travel daily.
London COVID-19 patient Natalie:
"I feel pain in the soles of my feet, like walking on a pebble, but that's not the main problem. The main problem was that it was hurting my spinal cord and I was really struggling to walk and feeling like I couldn't lift my feet at any point. ”
According to the latest data published by the medical journal Lancet Respiratory Medicine, from March 2020 to April 2021, only a quarter of COVID-19 patients discharged from 39 hospitals in the UK fully recovered after one year.
Common symptoms in long-term COVID-19 patients include fatigue, muscle pain, poor sleep, sluggishness, and difficulty breathing.
Styne, University of Exeter Medical School, UK:
"There are very few treatments for long-term COVID-19 patients at present, so there are many conservative attempts to alleviate symptoms through pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, and as of now we have not obtained effective treatment measures."
The study of more than 2,300 people also found that women were 32 percent less likely to fully recover than men, that obese patients were half as likely as others to make a full recovery, and that patients who needed ventilators were 58 percent less likely than others to make a full recovery.
