episode 726: What Happens If You Don't Recover From Covid In 7 Days?
If you're diagnosed with Covid-19 in Australia, you will most likely have to complete seven days of mandatory self-isolation at home while you recover, and to ensure you don't pass it on to anyone else during those most infectious first few days.
But what happens if you don't feel better after a week and your coronavirus symptoms continue for several weeks, or even months longer? How do you know if you're suffering from 'Long Covid'?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in nursing to find out how long your Covid-19 symptoms "should" last, and what to do if you don't recover within a reasonable amount of time.
