University of Malaya is conducting another survey to determine if individuals previously infected with Covid, with or without symptoms, experience any post-Covid symptoms after recovery.
Khairy Jamaluddin says 65% of people diagnosed with Category 4 or 5 Covid-19 experience post-recovery long Covid, where 61% of them suffer more than two long Covid symptoms.
Women have a 58% higher chance of experiencing long Covid; patients with moderate and severe Covid-19 are 3 to 3.6 times more likely to get long Covid, a Universiti Malaya study found.
Batu Gajah Hospital’s long Covid ward provides services like physiotherapy, oxygen therapy, health education, mental health, and psychosocial support with other multidisciplinary approaches.
About 75% of 25,122 reported long Covid patients in Malaysia experienced lethargy; 63% have shortness of breath; 14% develop coughs; 9% have difficulty sleeping; and 4% develop anxiety.
