Low levels of vitamin D could be a risk factor for long Covid: Study

Long-term COVID risk has been observed to rise with low vitamin D levels, according to a study presented at the 25th European Congress of Endocrinology in Istanbul. Long COVID, also known as post-COVID-19 syndrome, is a novel illness in which the symptoms of COVID-19 linger for more than 12 weeks after the original infection. Despite the fact that studies have indicated that it affects 50-70% of patients who had previously been admitted for COVID-19, little is known about the disorder.
