Introduction: People who have recovered from covid-19 but are still reporting long-term consequences of the illness are referred to as having "long covid." This review will collect pre-existing literature and summarize the outcomes of Covid-19 on the physical, mental, and social well-being of post-covid patients, the mechanism of these complications, and potential prevention strategies.

In the mental health, many patients reported a significant decline in mental health. The Covid-19 pandemic has also altered how people connect with one another particularly in terms of social health. The pathophysiology of physical health dysfunction is said to be of multifactorial etiology, whereas in terms of mental health, the unpredictable nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, lockdown and economic collapse that followed and social health complication post-COVID-19 situation is seen because the social support typically received had been significantly disrupted.

We may have more unforeseen issues as time goes on as a result of this pandemic. It is imperative to fully understand COVID-19's long-term implications on health in order to enhance each survivor's quality of life.
