53% affected months later

In a comprehensive study of almost all Faroe Islands residents infected in the first Covid outbreak, 53% reported symptoms months later.

8.9% reported "severe" long-lasting symptoms, despite less than 5% requiring hospitalization for the initial infection. The most common moderate-to-severe symptoms included fatigue (13%), loss of smell (10%), and loss of taste (7%).
