After recovery from COVID-19

As you or the person you're caring for gets better, watch for any symptoms that don't go away. Some people report symptoms that continue for months or new medical issues after having COVID-19. Make sure to track symptoms and contact your healthcare professional if they don't get better.

Also, once you recover, you will likely have some protection from getting the virus that causes COVID-19 again. But that protection seems to fade over time. Getting a COVID-19 vaccine can boost your body's protection and help prevent you from getting the virus again.
