According to a preliminary research, which is set to be presented at the European Respiratory Society International Congress, the serious lasting impacts on the body that come with Covid-19, could ameliorate over time. 

Some of the long-term impacts of the deadly disease include lung damage as well as some psychological wounds.

It could take weeks after discharge, for lung impairment to occur but the good news is that it eventually ameliorates with time as lungs have the capacity to repair themselves. Experts insist on a structured follow up for those who have recovered from the virus. 

On the psychological front, however, there seemed to be no improvement in patients who developed post traumatic stress disorder.
