The majority of long Covid symptoms resolve within the first year after infection for people with mild cases of Covid-19, according to a large study conducted in Israel.
“Mild disease does not lead to serious or chronic long term morbidity in the vast majority of patients,” said study coauthor Barak Mizrahi, a senior researcher at KI Research Institute in Kfar Malal, via email. The study, published Wednesday in the journal The BMJ, compared thousands of vaccinated and unvaccinated people with mild Covid symptoms who were not hospitalized with people who tested negative for the virus.
Only slight differences appeared between men and women in the study, but children had fewer early symptoms than adults, which were mostly gone by year’s end. No real differences were found between the original wild-type of SARS-CoV-2 , the Alpha variant and the Delta variant .
