A clinical case definition of post COVID-19 condition by a Delphi
consensus, 6 October 2021
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Overview

WHO has developed a clinical case definition of post COVID-19 condition 
by Delphi methodology that includes 12 domains, available for use in all 
settings. This first version was developed by patients, researchers and 
others, representing all WHO regions, with the understanding that the 
definition may change as new evidence emerges and our understanding of 
the consequences of COVID-19 continues to evolve.

Post COVID-19 condition occurs in individuals with a history of probable 
or confirmed SARS CoV-2 infection, usually 3 months from the onset of 
COVID-19 with symptoms and that last for at least 2 months and cannot be 
explained by an alternative diagnosis. Common symptoms include fatigue, 
shortness of breath, cognitive dysfunction but also others and generally 
have an impact on everyday functioning. Symptoms may be new onset 
following initial recovery from an acute COVID-19 episode or persist 
from the initial illness. Symptoms may also fluctuate or relapse over 
time.
