English term or phrase: long-hauler
Definition from Fritinancy Word of the Week:
Although the World Health Organization reports that 80 percent of COVID infections are “mild or asymptomatic,” and most patients recover after one or two weeks, thousands of people now say they’ve been coping with serious symptoms for a month or longer. In online support groups, these people call themselves “long-haulers.”

Example sentence(s):
  • Even though the world is consumed by concern over COVID-19, the long-haulers have been largely left out of the narrative and excluded from the figures that define the pandemic. I can pull up an online dashboard that reveals the numbers of confirmed cases, hospitalizations, deaths, and recoveries—but LeClerc falls into none of those categories. She and others are trapped in a statistical limbo, uncounted and thus overlooked. The Atlantic
  • Coronavirus 'long haulers' are sick for months. This doctor is one of them Today
  • Dr Jake Suett, an intensive-care doctor in Norfolk, who was himself ill for several weeks, wrote an open letter calling on the government to push for more research into long-haul symptoms, and also to raise awareness among not only health professionals but also employers, who may see their staff off work for longer than two weeks.

Pacienti s dlhodobými príznakmi koronavírusu


Definition from own experience or research:
Napriek tomu, že svet je konzumovaný obavami o COVID-19, pacienti s dlhodobými príznakmi boli väčšinou vynechaní z obehu a vylúčení z čísel, ktoré definujú pandémiu.

Example sentence(s):
  • Väčšina pacientov má ľahký priebeh, podobný prechladnutiu. Pacienti s ťažším priebehom, so zápalom pľúc vyžadujú hospitalizáciu, u niektorých sa rozvinie syndróm akútnej dychovej tiesne – ARDS so zlyhávaním dýchania a nakoniec aj vitálnych funkcií.[1] Infekciu vírusom SARS-CoV-2 spočiatku nie je možné odlíšiť od iných vírusových ochorení, medzi ktoré patrí aj nádcha alebo chrípka, preto je dôležité zisťovať epidemiologické súvislosti. - Wikipedia  

Explanation:
