Prolonged symptoms: Prolonged symptoms may occur after COVID 19 infection. If you have chest tightness, one cause is bronchospasm, and it may be reversed with Albuterol. A negative test confirmation is required prior to going back to work. Continue to wear a mask and use social distancing. Monitor temperature, rest and drink fluids.

COVID 19: COVID 19 can be the gift that keeps on giving. Pace yourself as many people have had residual headaches and pulmonary symptoms. Many doctors now recommend "post - COVID" medical evaluations for people with lingering symptoms.
