 The study found that symptoms related to SARS-CoV-2 infections such as chills, fever, myalgia, cough, and sore throat decreased significantly within three months of being diagnosed. Symptoms such as loss of smell, shortness of breath, and tiredness also decreased, although to a lesser extent. Additionally, the study found that symptoms were more likely to decrease in those who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 compared to those who tested negative. This suggests that symptoms may be caused by the virus itself rather than just the stress of being diagnosed. This article was authored by Taryn Stevenson, Snell M. Pinto-Parera, Manjula D.
