Lingering complications from COVID-19 still haunt some Nova Scotians months later

'It's tiring, you just wonder will it ever go away?'

On paper, Kelly Marshall of Stellarton, N.S., officially recovered from COVID-19 months ago. In reality, the dividing line between sick and recovered isn't so clear.

She still suffers from complications brought on by the virus, which she contracted in March, and earlier this month she was struck by a crippling chest pain.

"It was like something clamping around my heart and squeezing it, it was pretty intense, it made my whole body shake, I was in pain," she said. "That scared me."

That chest pain lasted for about four hours and doctors at the hospital said it could have been connected to her COVID infection.

The exact long-term health impacts of COVID-19 haven't been determined, and researchers around the world continue to uncover new complications associated with the virus.

But mounting evidence suggests that COVID-19 survivors may have to struggle with debilitating complications for months or longer.


Coronavirus: Spain to keep register of those who refuse Covid vaccine

Spain is to set up a register of people who refuse to be vaccinated against coronavirus and share it with other European Union nations, the health minister has said.

Salvador Illa said the list would not be made accessible to the public or to employers.

He said the way to defeat the virus was "to vaccinate all of us - the more the better".

Spain has been one of the countries in Europe worst affected by the virus.

It is currently rolling out the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine which was approved for EU member states last week.
