Director of AIIMS-Delhi addresses virtual session, talks about vaccines and second wave
Long COVID symptoms could be a challenge which needs to be focused on, said Randeep Guleria, director of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS)-New Delhi. Fatigue, dyspnea (shortness of breath), joint pains, persistent cough and chest pain were listed as some of the common symptoms of long COVID (a term that basically means persistence of symptoms even after recovery). Some people might suffer from extensive lung damage, stroke or myocardial damage, and need long-term rehabilitation. Delivering the keynote address at a virtual session on ‘COVID-19: Lessons learnt and future strategies’ organised by Telangana State Medical Council on Tuesday, Dr Guleria spoke about vaccines, genome sequencing and reasons for second wave among other topics.More Related News
