COVID-19 recovery

COVID-19 recovery refers to the process by which the body heals after infection with the virus. For most people, the immune system fights off the virus within a few weeks, leading to the disappearance of symptoms. Recovery involves the restoration of normal respiratory and bodily functions, which can sometimes take longer if complications occur or if symptoms like fatigue and cough persist. Some individuals experience "long COVID," with lingering symptoms for months. Recovery varies based on age, health, and severity of illness, but generally includes rest, proper nutrition, and ongoing medical care to support full restoration.
