COVID Virus Can Remain in the Body Over a Year
Quick Glance: Prolonged Presence of COVID Virus in the Body
  • Researchers at the University of California in San Francisco have determined that remnants of the COVID-19 virus can persist in blood and tissue for more than a year after the initial infection.

  • During their examination of long-lasting COVID, scientists identified COVID antigens in the blood up to 14 months post-infection and in tissue samples for over 2 years after the infection.

  • These research findings offer compelling evidence that COVID antigens may endure in certain individuals even following regular immune responses.

  • The UCSF research team is actively engaged in clinical trials to assess the potential of monoclonal antibodies or antiviral medications in eliminating the virus.
