Julie contracted COVID in March last year, and is still suffering from the symptoms
When Julie Trell contracted coronavirus in San Francisco in March last year, she expected the symptoms to last two weeks.
But months later, she was still suffering from the effects of COVID-19.
"The symptoms that I first had were coughs, fever, rashes and headaches," she told 7.30.
"I lost my sense of smell three days later.
"Then in December, I had severe symptoms again … [including] a hacking cough. I don't think I had a fever, but there was exhaustion, tiredness, and then this cough that scared me."
Even now, Ms Trell, 51, is still suffering from significant fatigue that she says could be due to coronavirus.
"I really don't know what to make of it," she said.
"From the virus affecting my body to the virus as a whole affecting the world, there's just so much [that's] unknown."
And she's right — little is known about the phenomenon of long COVID, mainly due to the virus being relatively new.
