Specific persistent symptoms of COVID-19 and associations with reinfection: a community-based survey study in southern China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Surveillance remains fundamental to understanding the changes in epidemiological patterns regarding post-COVID conditions and reinfections. Persistent symptoms and reinfection in previously infected individuals are increasing being reported in many countries, but their associations among general populations were seldomly reported. Understanding the association with persistent symptoms of COVID-19 reinfection is essential to develop strategies to mitigate the long-term health and socio-economic impacts of the post-COVID conditions. This study aimed to investigate the incidence of COVID-19 persistent symptoms among previously infected Chinese community residents and explore associations of specific COVID-19 persistent symptoms with reinfection and other factors.
