This final post in my COV-19 series looks at what action you can take.

Post-viral fatigue
Many previously healthy people, who have had a mild Covid-19 infection, are struggling to return to their normal levels of activity and energy. It is likely that they are experiencing post-viral fatigue (PVF) or post-viral fatigue syndrome (PVFS), which could develop into ME/CFS. This post contains guidance on how good convalescence and basic management of post-viral fatigue, especially in the early stages, can reduce the risk of this turning into a long term and debilitating illness.
