How rare is pulmonary embolism in people with covid-19? if i am on day 12 of mild covid-19 symptoms, do i need to worry?

Severity: If there is abnormal clotting, the patient is at risk for an embolism If you are otherwise well and have a mild case, the risk if less. Watch for signs of shortness of breath, chest pain and swelling of your legs. Drink fluids, rest and monitor your temperature. Avoid use of Motrin and NSAIDS.

COVID 19: In one study 22% of the 328 COVID 19 patients who received pulmonary CT angiography had pulmonary embolism. 72% were in patients who did not require care in ICU. REF: https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/86535. If symptoms are quite mild it is much less likely.

Embolism: Some clinicians are now considering recommendation for taking low dose aspirin ( unless there are contraindications) which may reduce incidence of thromboembolism during covid infection. Although not as effective against venous system blood clots as actual anticoagulants are and not truly evidence based, taking low dose aspirin is something to be considered during covid infection.
