However, studies providing evidence of increased risk are limited in number and generalizability. As seen in Chart 2, Canadians reporting two known or suspected COVID-19 infections (25.4%) were 1.7 times more likely to report prolonged symptoms than those reporting only one known or suspected infection (14.6%), and those with 3 or more infections (37.9%) 2.6 times more likely.
About 3.5 million Canadian adults reported experiencing long-term symptoms following a COVID-19 infection 2.1 million reported they were still experiencing those symptoms as of June 2023. Almost half of those still experiencing symptoms reported they had not seen any improvement in symptoms over time.
