We’re still learning about the long-term effects of COVID-19. Now researchers say lung damage from the virus can last for weeks – or even months – after recovery. Scientists in Austria say 88% of patients who were hospitalized with COVID-19 still suffered lung damage and shortness of breath six weeks after they were discharged.
