Updated

Abstract

In Switzerland, early estimates indicated a 39-53% prevalence of long COVID symptoms among adults who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2.

  • Long COVID symptoms showed significant variability in prevalence estimates across different studies.
  • Studies in primary care settings reported long COVID as responsible for less than 1% of family medicine consultations.
  • The aim was to estimate the incidence of long COVID-related consultations in Swiss family medicine practices.
  • Findings could assist in planning health services for better management of long COVID.
