From: Persistent COVID-19 symptoms in a community study of 606,434 people in England

Plots showing persistence of symptoms as a proportion of those who reported symptoms at any time, among n = 71,642 respondents for whom we had 150 days’ observation time. Women have higher rates of persistent symptoms; a slower decline in symptom prevalence is observed after 12 weeks in both sexes. The vertical dashed lines show 4 and 12 weeks post symptom onset, respectively.
