Coronavirus affects us all differently with some people shrugging off the illness quickly and others left with longer-lasting problems.
Age, gender and other health issues all have a bearing on whether you become more seriously ill from Covid-19.
As is well known now, the main symptoms are a cough or a fever, with some people developing muscle aches. People with these mild symptoms should make a good and speedy recovery.
However, some people will develop more serious symptoms, including breathing difficulties and may need oxygen treatment in hospital. GP Sarah Jarvis says it could take two to eight weeks to recover from these symptoms.
The World Health Organization estimates one person in 20 will need intensive care treatment, which can include being sedated and put on a ventilator.
It will take time to recover from any spell in an intensive or critical care unit (ICU), no matter what the illness.
Dr Alison Pittard, Dean of the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine, says it can take 12 to 18 months to get back to normal after any spell in critical care.
