“Long covid or chronic covid is a phenomenon that is still being studied. The coronavirus has two options as to why it may linger. It can be either an inadequate reaction of the immune system, which does not return to normal for a long time, or a weak immune system, and the disease or virus progresses for a long time. Both options can be, and both of them can provide longer symptoms, ”the doctor explained.
At the same time, according to Vitaliy Yevtushenko, each case of chronic coronavirus should be considered separately.
“In each case it is necessary to understand separately. At present, we cannot say that any group of people will have a long course. I will<d that especially chronic covid is not treated, ”he added.
The main thing, according to Vitaliy Yevtushenko, is the use of personal protective equipment.
“We can’t take off our masks yet, because everyone is sick. And even if we get vaccinated well, there will still be people who are contraindicated for vaccinations, or a situation that has not been affected by the vaccination to protect them enough. Therefore, 100% we still can’t take off our masks and forget about personal protective equipment. It’s not time yet, ”the doctor concluded.
