State surveyors struggled to get Minnesotans to talk about their post-COVID health, but found a high rate of symptoms such as fatigue and brain fog. Four in 10 Minnesotans who contracted COVID-19 reported in a new state survey that they struggled with lingering health problems like fatigue and brain fog for months after their illnesses. For some, the symptoms never went away.
Everyday tasks such as getting dressed, going to work or simply concentrating were more difficult for this population, according to survey results released Friday by the Minnesota Department of Health. The survey shows the enduring toll of COVID, almost five years after it first emerged in Minnesota.
