The group experiencing these symptoms are called "long-haulers" - and that's a phrase we'll be hearing more as doctors try to work out what's behind these after-effects.


To date almost 25,000 Australians have recovered from COVID-19, but some say it hasn't left them completely, with symptoms from fatigue to tooth aches, a loss of balance and even hair loss.

The most common of these are difficulty concentrating, low mood and fatigue; for some people this lasts a few weeks, for others it lasts months.
