A mild or moderate COVID-19 infection lasts approximately two weeks in most patients. In others, however, the long-term effects of COVID-19 can cause persistent health issues even after their fever and cough have subsided, and they no longer test positive for the illness. This condition is known as ‘Long COVID’ or ‘Post-COVID-19 Syndrome’ and refers to the long-term effects of COVID-19 infection that can last from weeks to months.
