Covid-19 Found in People’s Blood Months After Infection

Key points

  • A quarter of people had Covid-19 viral proteins in their blood up to 14 months after infection.
  • These proteins in the blood indicate that SARS-CoV-2 keeps living in tissue reservoirs.
  • The study used a research-grade test that is not available outside of research labs.
  • The strongest evidence to date that Covid-19 persists in the body provides an important clue to Long Covid.
