Long after a SARS-CoV-2 infection, many people's health is so severely impaired that it is difficult for them to return to life. If the symptoms persist for at least twelve weeks, it is called post-COVID. The symptoms can be very different, appearing already in the acute phase of the disease or only weeks or months later.
The Leopoldina symposia of Class III – Medicine looks at the post-COVID syndrome from different medical perspectives. The spectrum of topics covered by the scientists from Germany and abroad ranges from possible causes to care and global health aspects.
