Long‐COVID is generally defined as COVID‐19‐related symptoms that are present 28 days or more after the onset of acute COVID‐19 infection. An individualized approach to management is recommended, based on patient

doctors, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and psychologists amongst others.
