Description
Abdulaziz Alshomrani, Anum Hussaini, and Elhadi Miskeen run a national survey of long COVID in Saudi Arabia, in a 2026 cross-sectional study. The team reached 1,790 adults with confirmed infections across all thirteen regions between mid-2023 and late 2024. Long COVID followed the World Health Organization definition: symptoms lasting at least three months with no other explanation.
About a third of respondents met that definition. Fatigue dominated the symptom list, followed by breathlessness and thinking problems. Being female roughly doubled the odds after adjustment, and a harder initial illness also predicted lasting symptoms. The study adds healthcare use and daily burden measures, giving planners the first nationally framed numbers for the kingdom.
