Abstract
Even in the third year since the beginning of the pandemic, the negative consequences caused by COVID-19 pose a critical threat to the entire world. The aim of the study was to present most frequent manifestations of the post-COVID-19 syndrome. Health problems caused by COVID-19 continue beyond the acute phase of the disease. The manifestations are diverse and heterogeneous, but the most common among them are chronic fatigue syndrome and psychological distress. It is important to manage these manifestations in order to reduce the burden of the pandemics on the health care system.
