Meanwhile, the health staff has to deal with those patients who survived COVID-19, but continued to have a variety of new complaints, including respiratory distress, dysautonomia, intravascular thrombosis and endocardial myocarditis etc. Anti-corona therapy, in itself lead to multiple syndromes including acute kidney injury, bone marrow depression and deranged blood sugar levels. One of the more lethal complication is mucormycosis-a fungal disease. It has effected thousands of recovering or recovered corona patients in India. This editorial highlights the salient features of post-corona syndrome or long covid.
