(Washington, DC) -- Half of those who survive COVID-19 face long-term symptoms.

That's according to a recent study of more than 250-thousand adults and children printed in the journal JAMA Network Open. Researchers found 50-percent experienced a variety of physical and psychological issues lingering for six months or more after initial recovery.  

Scientists are hopeful additional research into 'long COVID' could unlock clues to chronic fatigue and other poorly understood conditions.
