• Persistent COVID-19 symptoms 30 days and 60 days after symptom onset were present in 53% and 35% of participants, respectively, in a population-based survey in Michigan (n=593). Prevalence of 30-day and 60-day symptoms was 40% higher in hospitalized patients than in non-hospitalized patients, while those who reported very severe symptoms (vs mild) had a 2-fold higher prevalence of 30-day and 60-day symptoms.
