Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 5

  1. The subject was diagnosed with mild symptomatic COVID-19, confirmed by a positive PCR for SARS- CoV-2, positive SARS-CoV-2 serology or CO-RADS (COVID-19 Reporting and Data System) 4 or 5 on CT-scan, or antigen quicktest, or had typical symptoms and was part of a household in which another person was tested positive by PCR 2 weeks before or after the first day of illness
  2. The subject is at least one year after being diagnosed with COVID-19
  3. Subjects with persistent post-COVID complaints experience severe levels of fatigue (≥ 35) on the fatigue subscale of the Checklist Individual Strength [CIS-fatigue]) and/or difficulty concentrating (≥18) on the concentration subscale of the Checklist Individual Strength [CIS-concentration]. Control subjects without persistent complaints experiences no fatigue (<35) on the CIS-fatigue and no difficulty concentrating (<18) on the CIS-concentration
  4. The subject is in the range 30-65 years of age
  5. The subject has sufficient command of the Dutch language
