COVID-19 is a viral infection that can cause cold like symptoms.
COVID-19 vaccination is the best way to protect yourself from becoming seriously unwell or dying from COVID-19.
Most people feel better within a few days or weeks of their first COVID-19 symptoms and make a full recovery within 12 weeks. However, for some people, it can be a more serious illness and their symptoms can last longer.
