Article: Some patients who survive COVID-19 may
suffer lung damage
There is a small study involving 12 patients in Hong Kong which discovered that
the coronavirus patients who recovered are being left with damaged lungs, and
they struggled to breathe when they walk. But this is just a small number to be
looked at. Japan also said that these patients who survive will suffer severe health
effects for years. In fact, Bloomberg also quoted that coronavirus survivors could
suffer severe health effects for years. “Are patients left with poor lung function after
COVID-19?” is still a question. This needs an answer.
