Most people who get COVID-19 recover within weeks or a few months. However, some will likely suffer chronic damage to their lungs, heart, kidneys or brain that the virus inflicted. Others will develop long COVID.
We do not yet have a formal definition of long COVID. A definition should include these three points:
• A medical diagnosis of COVID-19, based on both symptoms and/or diagnostic testing for the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus
• Not having returned to pre-COVID-19 level of health and function after six months.
• Having symptoms that suggest long COVID, but no evidence of permanent damage to the lungs, heart, and kidneys that could cause those symptoms.
Is long COVID the same as chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS)?
Long COVID likely is the same as or very similar to myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).
ME/CFS can be triggered by other infectious illnesses — such as mononucleosis, Lyme disease, or severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), another coronavirus disease.
Who is more likely to become a long hauler?
Currently, we can’t accurately predict who will become a long hauler. People only mildly affected by COVID-19 still can have lingering symptoms, and people who were severely ill can be back to normal two months later.
However, continued symptoms are more likely to occur in people over age 50, people with two or three chronic illnesses, and, possibly, people who became very ill with COVID-19.

What might cause the symptoms that plague long haulers?
Research is underway to test several theories. People who have ME/CFS, and possibly people with long COVID, may have one or more of these abnormalities:
• An on-going low level of inflammation in the brain.
• An autoimmune condition in which the body makes antibodies that attack the brain.
• Decreased blood flow to the brain, due to abnormalities of the autonomic nervous system.
• Difficulty making enough energy molecules to satisfy the needs of the brain and body.
How many people may develop long COVID?
We can only guess. Probably many more were never diagnosed. Early studies indicate that one in ten people with COVID-19 may develop long COVID that lasts at least a year. Ultimately, how long these illnesses last remains to be determined.
