This isnt an answer to your question but a friend of mine definitely had Covid in March 2020, classic symptoms, took her some time to recover to anything like 'normal'. However, she has been left with exhaustion and heart problems (erratic and extra beats),
she sees a cardiologist who is hopeful she will eventually return to her previous active, fit self. He is convinced this is Longcovid and has seen many similar cases recently.
