Pandemic is over but Covid-19 is not: Study says it may reactivate dormant viruses in your body

The emergence of severe COVID-19 cases has the potential to awaken dormant viruses already residing in the body.

Notably, this viral resurgence correlates with both the severity of the disease and the level of inflammation experienced. Anelloviridae, in particular, exhibited a strong link to ongoing physical disabilities in individuals suffering from long COVID.
