"From the earliest days of the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists have raised
concerns about the potential for long-term health problems linked to SARS-CoV-2
and warned repeated infections are likely to increase the risk.

An association between COVID and cardiovascular disease emerged quickly.

And now — almost exactly four years since the first case was discovered in
Wuhan — a growing body of scientific research is cautiously linking the
inflammation caused by a COVID infection to diseases like Alzheimer's and
Parkinson's as well as autoimmune conditions from bowel disease to rheumatoid
arthritis.

The virus has even been suggested to impact some pregnant women, associated
with double the risk of premature delivery.

As the eighth COVID wave hits Australia, experts are taking notice."
