Could omicron lead to long Covid?
Though much remains unknown about omicron, experts say the variant could lead to long Covid, even with a mild case.
Patients with long-term symptoms can experience crushing fatigue, irregular heart rhythms and other issues months after their initial Covid infection. This occurred during the first wave of the pandemic, and has continued to lead to long Covid issues through the delta wave.
"We should assume that this variant can do the same thing that previous variants have until proven otherwise," Lee, of CUNY, said.
