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.


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.


People in Australia must stay at least 1.5 metres away from others. Check your state’s restrictions on gathering limits. 

If you are experiencing cold or flu symptoms, stay home and arrange a test by calling your doctor or contact the Coronavirus Health Information Hotline on 1800 020 080.
