COVID has a long-lasting impact on the human health. Scientists and health experts have been analyzing the impact of COVID on human beings and this has led to raising awareness around long COVID. Currently, BA.2.86 and EG.5 variants of COVID are in circulation. These variants are the sub-variants of the Omicron variant of COVID and are said to have a higher transmission rate than their ancestors.
While most people infected with COVID-19 have milder symptoms and recover within a few weeks, the global pandemic produced by the SARS-CoV-2 virus continues to pose a substantial health risk. Some of the individuals affected may develop more severe sickness and pneumonia, often resulting in a more unfavourable prognosis.
