Description
COVID-19 may evolve into an endemic virus, meaning it could continue to circulate in populations regularly, causing periodic outbreaks or mild illness over time. While widespread vaccination and immunity can reduce severe cases, long-term complications, also known as "long COVID," may affect some individuals. These complications can include persistent fatigue, difficulty breathing, cognitive impairments, joint pain, and neurological issues. The full impact of long-term effects is still being studied, but they can significantly impact quality of life and require ongoing medical attention.
