New diagnoses included cough, shortness of breath, chest or throat pain, and fatigue, which the authors suggest likely represent ongoing COVID-19 symptoms and are consistent with other reports of patient-reported symptoms months after SARS-CoV-2 infection. COVID-19\u2013related visits declined from 24 per 10,000 person-days during the 28\u201359-day interval to fewer than two per 10,000 person-days during the 120\u2013180-day interval.
