People who had underlying health conditions prior to COVID-19.People who have experienced more severe COVID-19 illness, especially those who were hospitalized or needed intensive care.These are examples and not a comprehensive list of people or groups who might be more at risk than other groups for developing post-COVID conditions: Studies have shown that some groups of people may be affected more by post-COVID conditions.

Most patients’ symptoms slowly improve with time. People with post-COVID conditions may experience health problems from different types and combinations of symptoms happening over different lengths of time. Post-COVID conditions may not affect everyone the same way. Sometimes the symptoms can even go away or come back again. People with post-COVID conditions can have a wide range of symptoms that can last more than four weeks or even months after infection.
